WhatsApp Inc. (@WhatsApp) April 02, 2014Here’s a little perspective on that number: Instagram recently announced that its users had posted 20 billion photos to the service. You’ll notice that’s not a statistic for one day. It’s the total number of photos shared in the history of the network.
That means that in one day, Whatsapp handled over three times as many requests as Instagram has since it launched three years ago. Not too shabby.
