WhatsApp has seen considerable growth over the past few years particularly after it was acquired by Facebook for $19 billion. Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has revealed that the most popular cross-platform messaging service in the world now has more than 1.5 billion users across the globe. That’s not all, WhatsApp is also handling more than 60 billion messages every single day.
This is a considerable improvement since we were last given numbers in July last year. At that point in time, WhatsApp boasted 1.3 billion monthly users with 1 billion daily active users. Facebook acquired WhatsApp back in 2014 and that point in time the service had just 450 million active users and 315 million daily active users.
Zuckerberg also revealed during the company’s Q4 2017 earnings call that Instagram and WhatsApp are now the No. 1 and No.2 most popular Story-sharing apps. That’s ironic given that this feature was basically copied from Snapchat and yet it has proven to be massively popular on Facebook’s products. The company has even added it to Messenger and Facebook proper.
There are 300 million daily active users each on both Instagram and WhatsApp who use the Story feature. Both have almost double the 178 million on Snapchat. The figures will only grow as Facebook’s research shows that across apps total social media posting to Stories will soon pass that of feed posting.

It was rumored at one point that the Galaxy S9 and the Galaxy S9+ will have larger batteries than their predecessors but that doesn’t appear to be the case. Recent reports have suggested that the new handsets will retain the 3,000mAh and 3,500mAh batteries of their predecessors respectively. Some images of Galaxy S9 parts have surfaced online today which possibly reveal the battery capacities of Samsung’s upcoming flagship smartphones.
Spare batteries for the Galaxy S9 and the Galaxy S9+ with model numbers SM-G960 and SM-G965 has been listed by Union Repair, an online wholesale store for mobile repair parts. The same online store has also listed a charging port flex cable for the Galaxy S9.
The batteries mentioned online for the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+ have 3,000mAh and 3,500mAh capacities respectively. If they’re accurate, it means that the new handsets will have exactly the same battery capacity as their predecessors.
It also means that any battery life improvements will depend on the improved power efficiency of other internal components as well as software optimizations. Just how better or worse things get will only become clear once the Galaxy S9 is put to the test in the real world.
There has also been some other evidence to support reports that the new flagships won’t have bigger batteries. The Galaxy S9 was recently spotted at a telecom regulator in Brazil and the listing also mentioned a 3,000mAh battery.
Samsung is going to unveil the Galaxy S9 on February 25th and will confirm all of the details about its new flagship then.
