WhatsApp breaks a new user record
The growth of the application WhatsApp seems to continue at an exponential rate. Far from running out of its useful life and slowing down the arrival of new users, this messaging tool has managed to exceed a new milestone in its history, reaching a record number. This is the 500 million active users per month A figure that is unparalleled compared to the rest of applications messaging and showing the strong he alth of this tool, as well as the reasons why it was acquired by Facebook a couple of months ago.
This has been made known by the co-founder of WhatsApp, Jan Koum , through the official blog of this tool. In said post he has thanked those500,000,000 usersfor being there actively every month. A piece of information that cannot be compared with other messaging tools that only offer data on their registered users (not active) and that, in the case of LINE, reaching 400 million A big difference that shows that WhatsApp continues to be the most popular option, even despite malfunctions, its issues security and the bad reputation of joining the social network Facebook
But Koum has also offered other interesting data that shows the activity of WhatsApp users In this way, it is now known that no less than 700 million photos are shared a day, and more than 100 million videos Figures that are surprising, although without losing Of course, the last number of messages sent and received in a day is already more than 64 billion messages But, how is it possible to continue fattening these huge amounts of information and users?
Emerging markets seem to be to blame for all this, where WhatsApp is being increasingly followed and used. Markets in countries like Brazil, Mexico, Russia and India, the latter being the country that contributes the most users: more than 48 million users They are also responsible for the growth in their use of their new policies and strategies that lead them to act as telecommunications operating companyAnd it is that recently, in Germany, it has launched a prepaid SIM card together with an operator to offer the service of WhatsAppwithout interruption even if the balance of calls and Internet data runs out. A clear commitment to bring the use of this application to more people.
We must not lose sight of the expectation created by the most widespread messaging utility in the world. And it is that, in the absence of what could be weeks or a couple of months, WhatsApp will launch its already confirmed call function A new feature that could promote even more the fame and usefulness of this application throughout the world, following its main objective of being able to communicate with a large number of people in a simple and direct way Although for According to its creator, they still have to correct and polish many issues, trying not to complicate its operation and avoiding all kinds of security problems that worry us every day to its users.All this fighting against the bad reputation that its acquisition by Facebook has led them to acquire, despite defending tooth and nail their independence
