I was on a scooter, travelling to a faraway beach. There it seemed all of India had congregated and now i know what they were doing. Apparently, Fourteen billion messages were exchanged through the communication app in India alone on New Year’s Eve.
Given our habit of exchanging pictures with boring, lengthy messages, funny clips and other such stuff, the data has revealed that out of all those messages exchanged, 32% were in some form of media. This record now beats the last one set during Diwali, when 8 billion messages were exchanged throughout the country. With an ever growing, smartphone loving user base of more than 160 million in India, WhatsApp sure has busy days ahead. Forward and share this news with 10 other people, or bad luck will make you look ugly in your Display Picture for the next 14 years.
