5. WhatsApp  

Monthly Active Users: 2 billion  

WhatsApp, a social network cherished for its user-friendly interface and global connectivity, has surged in popularity by facilitating accessible communication worldwide, enabling chat, group creation, voice/video calls, and media sharing making it one of the most popular social networks in the world. Its dynamic nature is reflected in constant feature updates that meet user needs while prioritizing data security and privacy. This reliability has earned WhatsApp an astonishing user base of 2 billion active users.

Although the app is free, it generates revenue through a successful business model, charging companies for customer communication services, and had a revenue of $5.5 billion in 2020. Since its 2009 iOS launch (2010 for Android), WhatsApp’s user growth soared, and its acquisition by Facebook (now Meta) for $19 billion in 2014, when it already boasted 450 million monthly active users, further solidified its impact. This worldwide community comprises 46.1% females and 53.9% males.
