MASSIVE SERVICE: WhatsApp is well on the way to attracting 1 billion active users.

It has only taken the Facebook-owned social messaging app four months to add another 100 million active users, proving that Mark Zuckerberg was right when he said that the app was on its way to connecting 1 billion people around the world. 

WhatsApp's CEO and founder Jan Koum tweeted the achievement on Monday and in doing so highlighted that the number represents people who actually use the app on a regular basis, rather than how many times the title has been downloaded and installed on a tablet or smartphone.
