WHATSAPP NOW HAS 0.9 BILLIONMONTHLY ACTIVE USERS




Arguably the most popular messaging app in the
world, WhatsApp just recently crossed the 900
million Monthly Active Users milestone. That’s
300 million more than it had over a year ago in
August and 100 million more than it had in April.
The announcement was made earlier today by
none other than WhatsApp founder, Jan Koum
himself.

Facebook founder and CEO, Mark Zuckerberg,
whose company acquired WhatsApp for $19
billion last year posted a congratulatory message
shortly after.

For perspective, Facebook Messenger only just
crossed the 600 million mark in
March. WhatsApp, hitting the 900 million active
user mark is obviously a huge deal. Facebook
CEO Mark Zuckerberg has said in the past that he
doesn’t want to try to make money from
WhatsApp until the service reaches a billion
users. Considering the rate at which WhatsApp is
growing, that is bound to happen before this year                 
runs out or, at worst, Q1 2016. Perhaps it’s not
too early to conclude that this is more than
enough vindication for that $19
billion acquisition deal.



Earlier in March, WhatsApp became only the
second non-Google app to reach a billion
downloads on the Google Play store. Seeing as
over three-quarters of WhatsApp users are on
Android, it’s only a matter of time before we see
it reaching 1 billion active users.
