“This is the first time data pertaining to users has been released since Meta’s acquisition of the messaging app and demonstrates how the messaging platform, already the biggest messaging app in the world, has experienced tremendous growth in the U.S.,” WhatsApp spokesperson Ashley O’Reilly wrote in a press release.

Since purchasing WhatsApp for $16 billion in 2014, Meta has put a lot of effort into making the app as popular in the US as it is internationally. One such way is by advertising  WhatsApp’s availability on iOS and Android, particularly how easy it is to message users across platforms.

Yet, while WhatsApp now boasts more than 2 billion users in over 180 countries, it’s still less popular in the US than rivals like Apple’s iMessage.
