One stat post that I have been meaning to put together for quite some time is WhatsApp. The chat app has only been around for a few years, but has certainly racked up some staggering usage statistics and download totals.
Here are the most interesting WhatsApp statistics I could dig up. It should give you a snapshot off what exactly Zuck and crew dished out all that money for. As always, I’ll be adding and updating as new statistics pop up along the way…
Here is a digital collection of every WhatsApp stat I have curated over the years. With over 1 billion users logging in monthly, there is plenty of data to collect and list here. Included are stats on:
- Whats App Users
- Demographical Information
- Message Sharing Data
- Geographical Information
- Video and Other Usage Data
- Etc.- all in one place
I try to go through each and every stat regularly and update as much as possible, but we all know that some stats are easier to track down than others. As always, every stat is linked to its original source and has the source date listed.
To get your copy of this stat report, click on the button below to purchase it.

Please note that some of these numbers are easier to find than others. A few of these stats come from WhatsApp’s own reports, but some are based on news reports and not official company tallies. Basically, this is the best I can find and I don’t guarantee anything to be 100% accurate.
