Instant messaging (IM) technology is a type of online chat allowing real-time text transmission over the Internet or another computer network.

It differs from email in that conversations over instant messaging happen in real-time. Most modern IM applications use push technology and also add other features such as emojis, file transfer, chatbots, Voice over IP, or video chat capabilities.
