There’s no doubt that WhatsApp is a popular messaging replacement but just how popular? The company announced yesterday that reached a record 27 billion messages sent in 24 hours. 10 billion messages were sent inbound while the other 17 billion messages were received. this is mighty impressive compared to their record of 18 billion messages daily in 2012.
So what’s up with the discrepancy between inbound and received messages? It seems that WhatsApp is a popular group messaging app so group messages sent by one person to multiple people generate many more received messages.
new daily record: 10B+ msgs sent (inbound) and 17B+ msgs received (outbound) by our users = 27 Billion msgs handled in just 24 hours!
