Despite its modest birth WhatsApp has become a veritable force in the messaging realm and has been growing in popularity exponentially over the past few years. Yesterday, Jan Koum, CEO and co-founder of the mobile messenger, shared on his Facebook page that the product has reached yet another veritable milestone – 800 million monthly active users. Last August, this number was around 600 million and this January – 700 million. At this rate of about 25 million new active users per month, the service could very well exceed 1 billion, by the end of the year. Needless to say, this is a huge achievement and the exponential growth of WhatsApp has become even more impressive after Facebook paid a hefty $19 billion and took the platform under its wing in February 2014. But, even though, WhatsApp was crowned “the most globally popular messaging app” after surpassing the 700 million mark, Facebook CEO and founder Mark Zuckerberg, still believes the service has a long way to go, before it catches up with the rest of the Facebook ecosystem in terms of business maturity. Zuckerberg has also stated that after the billion user mark, WhatsApp will finally begin to truly contribute to Facebook’s business model. This statement is a little surprising, considering Facebook has 1.4 billion monthly users for its social platform, but only about 600 million for its messenger, so clearly, WhatsApp is still the top dog it this department, by a long shot and furthermore, let’s not forget, it is essentially a paid service, hence, theoretically more lucrative.
