WhatsApp needs little introduction. The messaging app is a go-to choice for billions of users around the world. Online reports suggest that WhatsApp—which is owned by Meta Platforms, also the company behind Facebook and Instagram—has about 2.7 billion active users worldwide. Reports also suggest that more than 100 billion messages are sent on WhatsApp daily. Over 100 million voice calls are made on it, also daily.
