Whatsapp is the world's most widely used instant messaging application, which would surpass the parent company Facebook to become the most widely used application in the world, according to Mobile for the Advisory's annual report. As explained by TNW, the growth of messaging in emerging markets, such as India, Brazil, Mexico, Turkey and Russia, has enabled it to outperform "the mother of all social networks."
In this regard, the report details that Watsab had surpassed Facebook in September 2018, and at that time the messaging application forecast crossed the monthly number of users of the social network created by Mark Zuckerberg in 2004. However, the report is not really clear, because there are no detailed details .
However, the graph indicates that both applications currently have approximately 200 million active users per month. However, to take a real dimension to the number of users each app has, we should refer to the official data published by the company last year.
In this context, the Fisoc Financial Results Report for the third quarter of 2018 reported that as of September 30, it had 2,270 million active users per month. While the company also claims that there are more than 2,600 million people using Facebook, Watsab, Intgram or Messenger every month.
As for the wattab, the latest official figure indicated that instant messaging had 1.5 billion active users, according to Vysok's report in February 2018 with the fourth quarter results of 2017.

Have you been able to apply and closely grow? Or that Facebook has reduced its user base to the extent of matching messaging application? It is hard to know the truth for sure, because the latest reports submitted by the company based in Menlo Park (CA) were mixed. Facebook and Wasab bought in 2014, when it barely had 450 million users. At present, everything seems to indicate that the investment was more than profitable.
