During company's third quarter earnings call, Mark Zuckerberg said "WhatsApp users are now exchanging roughly 100 billion messages everyday. Now there are more than 40 million people viewing a business catalogue every month on WhatsApp. In 2017, WhatsApp saw 63 billion messages sent globally on New Year's Eve, followed by 75 billion in 2018, and over 100 billion last year.
Now, roughly 100 billion messages are delivered every day. No other messaging service comes close to the numbers WhatsApp delivers. This is because of its growing user base that crossed the 2 billion mark early this year. According to a report by Statista, WhatsApp reached five billion downloads on Android in January this year, making it only the second non-Google app to achieve this milestone.
WhatsApp hits 2 billion users, up from 1.5 billion 2 years ago. WhatsApp has been adding new features to make the app more user-friendly. It recently gave users the ability to silence chat alerts forever through 'always mute' feature. The service was also testing 'join missed calls' — that allows users to directly join ongoing calls even after missing them initially — and a biometric lock feature in its beta version.
