WhatsApp – a quick history

[Deleted]

Here's what you need to know...

WhatsApp was created in 2009 by computer programmers Brian Acton and Jan Koum – former employees of Yahoo

It’s one of the most popular messaging services in the world

Koum came up with the name WhatsApp because it sounded like “what’s up”

After a number of tweaks the app was released with a messaging component in June 2009, with 250,000 active users

It was originally free but switched to a paid service to avoid growing too fast. Then in 2016, it became free again for all users

Facebook bought WhatsApp Inc in February 2014 for $19.3billion (£14.64bn)

The app is particularly popular because all messages are encrypted during transit, shutting out snoopers

As of January 2018, WhatsApp has over 1.5billion users globally
