WhatsApp, however, remains the market leader its sector. Both founders have left the company based on these concerns. This has caused some degree of controversy related to data sharing with the parent company, despite promises of increasing levels of encryption, reportedly end-to-end by 2016.
In February 2014, it moved to acquire WhatsApp for $19 billion, which remains its largest acquisition to date and one of the largest tech acquisitions in history. By October 2011, one billion messages were being sent per day by early 2013, WhatsApp could boast 200 million active users.įacebook clearly saw WhatsApp as a potential threat to its own offering, and therefore flexed its muscles. From that point, WhatsApp marched to ubiquitous status. WhatsApp incorporated multimedia messaging later in the same year, and was released on Android the following.
This was enough for Acton to convince a circle of fellow ex-Yahoo employees to part with $250,000 in seed funding. WhatsApp 2.0 was an instant success, quickly reaching 250,000 active users. Of course, we must remember that although the operation and registration is the same as in the official app, here is the disadvantage of not being able to use Google Drive for backups and that it is easy that at some point there is something that does not work well, such as sending and receiving messages, voice memos or notifications.WhatsApp was unique at the time, outside of Blackberry’s BBM, in providing a free message service that allowed users to log in with their phone number. and what gives it the differential touch compared to other versions, as is a wide range of themes for the app that can be downloaded for free. So we have the possibility of using different text fonts, get more information about our contacts, better control privacy, send any type of file, different modes of blocking.
This is the possibility of modifying different aesthetic aspects of the app as well as having new functions that are not present in the official version of WhatsApp Messenger. Similar to WhatsApp Red, or practically identical, we find a MOD in which we find a number of functions common to others such as GBWhatsApp or WhatsApp Plus. Among these creations we find that of the developer who signs as Abu3rab, who has launched WhatsApp Blue. And with such a large community it is normal that there are those who think that the platform lacks this or that function, so the most enthusiastic have launched the development of MODs that modify its functions. With more than 2 billion active users worldwide, WhatsApp is the most used instant messaging app on the planet.
