WhatsApp: immensely popular – Yahoo! News

When Facebook’s popular messaging service WhatsApp took over we all seemed to stop Appen. But nothing is less true. Why WhatsApp remains so popular? Tech reporter Merijn Danes about the ‘ins and outs’ of WhatsApp.

1. After the acquisition by Facebook, many people said to stop WhatsApp, did that happen?
That has not happened. There are really just more people What Juices. Firstly, because the people who WhatsApp did not know the acquisition met by Facebook. WhatsApp Especially in America, where the app is not nearly as popular as in Europe won WhatsApp quickly to prominence.

2. Why do many people remain loyal to WhatsApp?
Social networks are very dependent on the amount of users they have. WhatsApp is pretty much on every smartphone in the Netherlands. For example Telegram reported around the acquisition of WhatsApp by Facebook a lot of people, but almost no one dared Whatsapp from his phone to get to miss messages. Fears As a result, everyone just kept What Juices

3. The influence of Facebook already noticeable?

Via WeChat instance you can also buy stuff and Line are ‘stickers’, a kind of large emoticons, gled it. Japanese seem there be money to resign. Before So opportunities. Was

“Purely just curious.” That was in February, the reply of Minister Ronald Plasterk of the Interior on why he left the popular messaging service WhatsApp for competitors Telegram. And he was not alone. Many users of WhatsApp made in those days the move. Shortly before Facebook announced that it had in fact WhatsApp for $ 19 billion had taken over (13.8 billion euros) and users feared that it would go out of their privacy.

But now we also have half a year at the expense shows that WhatsApp will not notice it. In the past four months, the number of monthly active users increased by 100 million worldwide.

Active Users
Telegram latest figures indicate that the service has 35 million users. But that figure is not comparable with the figures of WhatsApp, because it says nothing about the number of active users. WhatsApp supports all the app at least once a month use among active users.

Reputation
Facebook has not the best reputation when it comes to privacy. The social networking site gets a lot of criticism because it maintains a record of the user, such as age, location, gender and preferences. Many users fear that this will also happen with WhatsApp. The creators of Telegram (and many other alternative apps) say is correct to focus on the protection of private data.

Facebook seems to be, however, more time stabbing her own messaging, Facebook Messenger. The standard chat feature is salvaged from the Facebook application, so users must download if they want to continue chatting.
