Whatsapp is no 1 market share in every country. If not no 1, only lost from wechat
- freddie_mercury 9y agoWhatsApp is #1 in 55% of countries. It loses out to Zalo, Line, imo, Facebook Messenger and Blackberry Messenger in various countries. I'm pretty sure you made up every claim you just wrote. Why would you bother doing that?
- iamgopal 9y agoSame as you ?
- kinkrtyavimoodh 9y agoThink he meant within Asia
- freddie_mercury 9y agoIt's not true within Asia, either. Japan, Vietnam, Korea, Malaysia...WhatsApp isn't #1 is any of those places and neither is WeChat.
- philliphaydon 9y agoI never said anything about WeChat?
- ddeck 9y agoWhile I agree that Whatsapp is the dominant chat app in Asia, it's not number 1 everywhere. Notably - as you mentioned - Wechat in China, but also Kakao in Korea, Zalo in Vietnam and Line in Japan and Taiwan, where very few people use Whatsapp.
- robjan 9y agoIn my experience, most people in Taiwan use both Whatsapp and Line
- bernadus_edwin 9y agoAgree with this one. Only local startup can compete whatsapp. Asia, rusia and africa.
- skinnymuch 9y agoWhatsApp user base is insanely impressive but it isn't even no 1 in the country Ycombinator is based in. FBM is. Then it also isn't no 1 in obvious countries like Korea Japan China Taiwan Vietnam.
