WhatsApp is no doubt one of the most successful messaging apps out there. The service has seen impressive growth numbers the last few months and currently has over 900 Million active users every month.
These latest figures were revealed by WhatsApp’s founder Jan Koum yesterday through his Facebook page. WhatsApp is owned by Facebook so it makes sense for him to announce through it. Facebook bought WhatsApp for $21 Million last October.
900 Million Monthly users is quite a number considering that WhatsApp had 800 Million users just a few months ago in April. This shows that the messaging app is still growing even as competition gets tougher by the day.
