“The purchase allowed us to focus on growing and not think about making money,” said Jan Koum, WhatsApp co-founder, during the Internet conference held DLD right now in Munich.
The message service has more than 900 million users worldwide, about twice as it did when it was acquired by Facebook.
The operation allowed the application to access the infrastructure of the largest social network in the world, led by Mark Zuckerberg, and implement, among other things, the option of voice chat, a step without Facebook, would have demanded a significant investment own. Koum said the next step WhatsApp will advance communication between companies and individuals.
