WhatsApp exceeds 5 billion downloads on Android

A news that comes just after the application had operating problems yesterday, which were fixed in the early afternoon.

Huge success

The application is a success in downloads, although it must be remembered that WhatsApp has also been installed by default on millions of phones from brands such as Huawei or Samsung. Something that has also contributed to the number of downloads of the application. Although most of them come from the Play Store, where their downloads accumulate.

In this way, it is after Facebook, the second application that is not owned by Google to reach this number of downloads. So it is clear that it is a complete success for the social network, an essential application on Android.

Although it has more than 5, 000 million downloads, its active users are 1, 600 million. These downloads also include those who once downloaded it and have stopped using it, or if you change your phone and download WhatsApp again, or if you have uninstalled it due to a fault and have installed it again, etc. All this is counted in these downloads.
