What about a new company where you can sign up and have like a certain bitcoin address associated with your profile. then people could just add you to their chatting app with your QR code like snapchat. you could add anyone in the world and all you would need was their QR code! and you could transfer money from the two accounts....so like you could easily send someone btc in this chatting app

Or you can just add your bitcoin address in existing apps... like snapchat.

People have certainly tried to combine Bitcoin with social networking, to varying degrees of success, already.  No one seems to have got it right yet.  The thing to keep in mind, is that quite a few people here in the crypto space take privacy rather seriously.  Many of them would have little to no interest in publicly tying an address to their personal identity.  If I had to guess, I'd say that's probably why none of those existing services have really taken off yet.

Coins already doing that except the service is limited to some countries only. And it's undirectly integrated with facebook which contains the profile of the users. It also requires you to verify that you're the real person associated with your account for legal purposes.
That way, it's easily acceptable by the government.

Without clear and universal understanding of cryptocurrency legal status (is it a commodity? is it money? etc) it is impossible to integrate any "coin" in globally used and universally monetized service. It will take months or even a years to come to universal agreement between majority of jurisdictions and implement balanced and agreeable regulations on that matter. Until that time huge corporations won't be able to widly implement cryptocurrencies into their systems.

The globalists would love you to use Facebook or Amazon or similar sites they own. You wouldn't catch me trusting them. :)
