WhatsApp is apparently really popular because 1 billion people use it daily
WhatsApp is just one of the many available messaging apps for mobile, and apparently it's also one of the most popular.
The company announced on Wednesday it has reached one billion daily active users (on both desktop and mobile) up from the one billion monthly users it announced last year.
The company has been steadily expanding features over the last year. For example, you can now share photos in albums and even put filters on your pics within the app itself. Video and group messaging has also been added.
The best part about all of this is ithe app is based on Wi-Fi. You don't have to worry about roaming fees, getting a cellular plan abroad, or an international calling rates. Just download WhatsApp and stay connected with everyone that matters to you.
The 1.3 billion monthly active users WhatsApp announced in conjunction with its one billion daily active users even tops even Facebook Messenger's 1.2 billion monthly users.
The company also announced it has helped users share 4.5 billion photos, one billion videos, and 55 billion messages each day. So, there you have it. If you were wondering which messaging app to give a go, the world seems to think WhatsApp is a pretty good place to be.
