100M WhatsApp users have been recorded as announced by Mark Zuckerberg. This milestone is especially impressive as the United States is a country that primarily uses SMS as the main communication method.

The messaging company has recorded over two billion users globally, which makes it the most popular messaging app in the world. India is currently the country with the most amount of WhatsApp users comprising around 535 million active users. Brazil comes second with around 139 million active users.

100M WhatsApp Users and Its Distribution

WhatsApp has also reported around 50% of active US users have an iPhone, which does not come as a surprise as more than 40% of the country's population use iOS devices.

Among the US sites, New York, Los Angeles, Seattle and Miami have seen the most amount of growth as reported by the amount itself. Additionally, WhatsApp has also reported growth in the Southern states such as Texas which has more than 10 million active users.

The Meta-owned company has been attempting to push the messaging app in the United States over the last few years. The most recent campaign by WhatsApp involves bringing the cast of Modern Family together for a heartfelt ad.

But despite its efforts, Apple iMessage continues to be the dominant messaging app in the United States. Additionally, with the coming of RCS (Rich Communication Services) in iOS 18, iMessage might hold on to the crown for much longer. Communication between Android and Apple devices will improve as Android users will be able to read receipts and exchange high-quality files with each other.
