Why Facebook Will Pay $19 Billion for an App Missionς μηνυμάτων; Η απάντηση είναι πολύ απλή όταν λαμβάνονται υπόψη οι προσπάθειες του Facebook μέχρι σήμερα.
The social network has been trying for years to gain access to one service, αλλά δεν δείχνει ότι τα κατάφερε με την δική του εφαρμογή. Η εφαρμογή Facebook Messenger could not hit WhatsApp. WhatsApp was a threat to Facebook as it offered the same service for free in an easy-to-use app that had access to all their contacts. Access to all of the user's phone contacts was valued by Facebook at $19 billion.

It may not have caught the number of Facebook users, but let's not forget that it's a simple messaging application rather than a social network. Right now WhatsApp has about 400 million active users every month and processes about 27 billions of messages every day, which is very impressive in every respect.As mentioned above, much of the WhatsApp user database is international, and most of Facebook users come from the United States. This means that through this takeover, Facebook could win even more users from all over the world.
In addition, messaging tools have always been extremely popular. Smartphone applications that offer free Internet SMS have evolved and continue to evolve. Viber, Snapchat, and BBM are just some of the names like WhatsApp in the list of popular tools.
It should also be mentioned that WhatsApp was the only alternative to Facebook if it needed to buy a messaging app. Viber has already been sold, BBM is not being sold, and Snapchat has rejected them 2.180.000.0002.180.000.000 Facebook dollars.
