JAKARTA - Currently the WhatsApp short message service is the most widely used, therefore the application is the largest in the world. No doubt, Facebook's platform has sent more than 100 billion messages.

Quoted from Tech Crunch, Friday, October 30, this was revealed by the CEO of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg at the time of the company's earnings report. He also said that the peak of user involvement is on New Year's Eve, where users exchange messages up to 100 billion.

Usually on New Year's Eve, WhatsApp often experiences interruptions, but on the note that these numbers are not accompanied by any interference with the application.

This time WhatsApp is competing with its own application, Facebook Messenger, which has sent as many as 60 billion messages a day in early 2016.

From year to year, this figure continues to increase significantly. In 2014, when Jon Koum was still the Chief Executive of WhatsApp, he announced that his platform was used to exchange messages as many as 50 billion messages per day.

Head of WhatsApp, Will Cathcart, revealed that this year everyone relies on messages to connect with other people, including doing business.

"We are very proud that WhatsApp sends about 100 billion messages every day and we are excited about the future," said Cathcart.

Unfortunately, that's all Facebook announced in its revenue reports. There are no other announcements including how WhatsApp Pay continues.

Meanwhile, Apple, which both owns messaging applications such as iMessage and FaceTime, never shares message exchange numbers. However, WeChat is reported to have 1 billion users, although that figure clearly falls far short of its daily volume of messages with WhatsApp.
