- whatsapp doesn't have to allow browsing the entire history of their billions of messages;
- whatsapp doesn't have tags. A message can go not only to 1000000 users, but also to so many apps requesting updates for one tag.
- Twitter allows advanced search, where you can browse, in real time (or down to the entire history), a complex combination of people, tags and free text. With settings such as choosing the lang or the date.
- Whatsapp has a list of messages. But Twitter has a graph : message can be RT again and again, answered to and liked.
- all those features have some impact or the other on the way the tweets are displayed to the user.
- Twitter's API is much more used than Whatsapp's.
