Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said Thursday on his channel that WhatsApp now has more than 100 million monthly active users in the U.S., a country where SMS/texts is a popular mode of communication.
The announcement is the first time WhatsApp has released data about users in the U.S. The company also noted that more than 50% of WhatsApp’s users have iPhones, which is not surprising given that iOS has the majority market share in the country.
WhatsApp is a popular app worldwide, with more than 2 billion active users monthly. The company has historically focused on countries like India, which is WhatsApp’s largest user base with more than 500 million monthly active users, and Brazil and Indonesia.
