WhatsApp has earned the honor of being the most popular messenger in the world, reaching a new milestone in the world.
The Facebook-owned WhatsApp has achieved a milestone of 2 billion users. Earlier, Facebook set the same milestone in 2017 and YouTube in May (now its subscribers reached 2.5 billion). But WhatsApp has set this milestone in the shortest time and has surpassed Facebook and YouTube in this regard.
The WhatsApp was first introduced in 2009, and in 2014 Facebook bought it for $ 21.8 billion. This was a huge amount for the application because, at the time, WhatsApp has only 500 million users. Today the company announced that they have reached a new milestone, 2 announced users worldwide.

In February 2016, WhatsApp’s monthly subscribers grew to over one billion, and in July 2017, one billion users began using this messaging app daily.
When WhatsApp users were last shown in 2018, it was 1.5 billion and it is likely that Facebook may overtake it in the near future. In a blog, WhatsApp announced the number of 2 billion users using the app, and it achieved that goal in 11 years.
The company reiterated its commitment to provide end-to-end encryption to consumers worldwide, though it has been widely criticized by governments in most countries.
According to the blog, messages only reside in users’ phones and no one can read these messages or hear calls, your private conversations are between you and your friend.
The company states that this is the reason why millions of people around the world use WhatsApp as their daily messaging app.
