whatsapp play bannerUniversal messaging app giant WhatsApp has passed 250 million monthly users. With apps for iOS, Android, BlackBerry, Symbian, Windows Phone, and more, it’s no surprise that WhatsApp is one of the most popular universal messaging apps across platforms. The company has amassed an additional 50 million users since December, matching Twitter and gaining ground on Skype’s 280 million active users.

WhatsApp is currently the #1 paid app in the iTunes App Store and #28 in Google Play. The demand for messaging apps is high as they offer distinct advantages like read receipts and free messaging. Still, the market is saturated with competitors like Facebook Messenger, Google Hangouts, LINE, Kik, Tango, Viber, Kakaotalk, and more.
