Compared with the last time it was announced in April that the number had grown to 4 million, it took about three months for the number of monthly active users to grow to 8 million.
WhatsApp has also accumulated over 10 billion downloads and installs on Google Play, clearly attracting more users than more common apps like LINE. However, WhatsApp is still primarily used in Europe and the United States, while services like LINE and WeChat are still the most popular in Asia.
Compared with Facebook's own services, Facebook currently has 14.9 billion monthly active users, and the monthly active users of the Messenger service have accumulated to more than 6 million. Obviously, the integration into Facebook has not affected the popularity of WhatsApp.
