WhatsApp, the mobile messaging platform, just reported that it hit 400 million monthly active users. This represents an increase of 100 million users over the last 3 months. This represents a third of the 1.2 billion strong Facebook network.
The company has only 50 employees, of which most are engineers. This rounds off a remarkable year which has seen WhatsApp become the premier mobile messaging app in the world and seen it handle over 27 billion messages daily.
Going into 2014, WhatsApp faces new threats from Asia in the form of Line and KakaoTalk – which have more users and features.
