Social networking site WhatsApp has made a bumper boom. The number of its users is increasing day by day. Now its number of users has reached 2 billion. The messaging app has gained 50 million users as compared to before. 2 years ago, its number of consumers was 1.5 billion. But now its number of users has reached 2 billion. Its popularity in India is that there is no other platform than it.
The number of users of this app in India is 40 crores. In India too, this app is progressing day by day and the number of people who download it is seen to increase tremendously.
WhatsApp has launched 11 years ago. Six years ago Facebook bought it for 19 billion dollars. Now it is owned by Facebook. WhatsApp allows users to send text, messages, video, and audio. WhatsApp claims that it has always been vigilant about security.
Encryption is its important feature in guarding privacy. WhatsApp encryption works like a digital lock. It provides security to the information sent through WhatsApp. Even in the middle, no one can read your message nor listen to the call. No other person can interfere between your personal conversations.
There is a big jump in the number of WhatsApp users reaching 2 billion, which gained popularity without any marketing. Messaging does not charge fees from its consumers. Despite its popularity, the app has also been in controversy. It has been seen many times that the messaging platform was used to spread misinformation. The effect of this was seen as serious challenges in many countries of the world. The news of hacking in India was stirred up last year. The Israeli company NSO had breached WhatsApp through the powerful virus 'Pegasus'. WhatsApp itself had revealed about the spying of Indian journalists and human rights activists.
