WhatsApp history

WhatsApp was established on February 24, 2009, meaning now WhatsApp is already on the sixth age. WhatsApp was founded by Brian Acton and Jan Koum who once worked as a Yahoo employee. With a savings of $400,000 earned during his work there, Koum visited his friend Alex Fishman to discuss about the then 7-month-old App Store, Koum felt this store had the potential. Fishman then helped Koum find an iPhone application developer named Igor Solomennikov from Russia.

But even though WhatsApp Inc. has stood up, the WhatsApp app itself is still far from wrong. In some experiments, WhatsApp crashed and failed to run as expected. Desperate, Koum intends to shut down his company and find another job. But Brian Acton encouraged him to survive a few more months. In the end, after passing through a fairly long beta phase, in November 2009, WhatsApp officially started its run in the App Store. Previously, Koum had persuaded Acton and five other former Yahoo! officers to invest. After visiting the App Store, in January 2010 WhatsApp wandered into the BlackBerry Store and followed Android in August.

Although the status has been changed from free to paid, the popularity of WhatsApp is still fast-paced on almost all platforms. As of February 2013 WhatsApp active users exploded in the number 200 million. This figure doubled in December and climbed again to 500 million in April 2014. And as of September 2015, WhatsApp active users recorded as much as 900 million.

The rapid growth is what makes Facebook crazy about WhatsApp. On the other, WhatsApp Inc. Received a Facebook compete with a mahar of $19 billion. After changing flags, Facebook does not make many changes to WhatsApp, still pegged official per year and without ads. Not as many people feared.
