    WhatsApp Now Has 2 Billion Active Users

    WhatsApp now has two billion active users, up from 1.5 billion by the end of 2017, the company has announced.

    The mobile messaging app was founded in 2009 and acquired by Facebook in 2014. The deal was valued at $19 billion, the largest acquisition by the social media giant to date.

    Despite its size, WhatsApp’s growth remains robust: It has gained 500 million new customers over the past two years. WhatsApp touts its end-to-end encryption technology, which ensures that all contents in chats are secured by default.

    Not even WhatsApp, the Facebook-owned app can read messages or listen to calls that take place among the participants of conversations, according to WhatsApp’s blog posts.

    WhatsApp strongly defends its encryption technology. “We will not compromise on security because that would make people less safe,” according to WhatsApp’s announcement on Wednesday.

    “For even more protection, we work with top security experts, employ industry-leading technology to stop misuse as well as provide controls and ways to report issues — without sacrificing privacy.”
