In January, WhatsApp announced that it had reached 700 million monthly active users.
Barely three months later, the company has announced a growth of 100 million in its user base and according to the recent stats by the company, there are currently over 800 million monthly active users of WhatsApp all over the world.
One thing that has contributed to the growth that this app has experienced in the last few months is the introduction of a voice calling feature. At the moment, this feature is only available for a section of WhatsApp users that include Android and iOS users. However, not all users of iPhones can access the voice calling feature as it is just debuting. Like WhatsApp voice calling feature for Android, it seems users of iPhones will be getting the feature in bits. However, all of them will be able to make free WhatsApp voice calls in a few weeks’ time, according to a senior member of the company.
