WhatsApp has been one of the favorite messaging apps among the consumers since the time it was launched in 2009. Now that facebook has decided to buy it for a record $19 Billion, it is no doubt that the reach of the app would go further than it had been in the past few years.
When comparing the outreach of Facebook to that of WhatsApp's, it come as quite a surprise that more people have been using WhatsApp than Facebook. With over 350 Million active monthly users, more than 27 billion messages are sent through the app in one single day as compared to 10 Billion on Facebook and 500 Million on Twitter.
