WhatsApp told Wall Street Journal, it has over 250 million active users per month, the first time that this little giant revealed some approximate number of users for its popular messaging application for smartphones.
The figure is impressive for a company that has launched its application only four years ago and did not spend money on marketing.WhatsApp has become one of the largest messaging platforms and perhaps bigger than Twitter, which in December announced it had eclipsed 200 million active users per month. Microsoft said in October that its video-chat Skype had 280 million active users per month.

He has not yet revealed how many people use it, but as a sign of its popularity, the Facebook Messenger app is currently ranked sixth in the United States among the free Android apps in the Google Play Store and 44th in the United States among the free iPhone applications. IPhone, WhatsApp load once, costs 99 cents, and is ranked first paid iPhone apps in the U.S. The application is a free download for Android devices, but costs 99 cents after first year of service.
