Downloading WhatsApp for free is one of the main concerns of thousands of users when they acquire a smartphone for the first time or change their device to a new one and that is precisely what we are going to try to explain in the lines that you will find below. However, we are going to do a brief review of the history of the service first, we are going to try to discover its beginnings, what it is and how to configure the app to be able to start talking to all our contacts easily, quickly and totally free.

As you well know,  it is an instant messaging application that allows us to get in touch with all our friends, acquaintances, relatives and other contacts that we have stored in the agenda of our mobile phone. In addition to being able to talk to them through unlimited text messages. It also allows us to send and receive multimedia content (photos, images and videos), as well as audio notes, locations, share contacts and much more.

A bit of history and, Download WhatsApp for Free!

WhatsApp comes from the English expression of "What's Up!" which roughly means "What's up?", a phrase widely used among young Americans and widespread among the English population. Many users know the instant messaging application as "Wasap", "Whatsup" or even "Wasa". In fact, the term Wasap has already been accepted in the RAE to refer to it.

The company was  born in 2009 headed by Jan Koum and since then it has not stopped growing for a single minute . A few months after his birth, he received a notorious investment worth 10 million dollars from the guys at Sequoia Capital, which gave the company a great boost to expand on all the existing platforms at that time and become known among the public. younger.

In 2013, it experienced a great growth that forced them in March 2013 to announce that the Android version would from that moment be an annual paid app , something that greatly displeased all users of the Google platform and made them lose a lot of number of active users who opted for other free alternatives with better support.

A purchase that completely changes the trajectory of the courier service

However, on February 19, 2014, it was announced that Facebook, created by Mark Zuckerberg, had bought WhatsApp for a total of 19,000 million dollars , although the company would continue to have the same professionals and the company would remain as a company independent but capitalized by Facebook.

Currently, it is important to understand that getting this free app is the most common thing in the world. It is the largest instant messaging application on the planet and  has recently managed to reach the chilling figure of 1,000 million active users per month , a figure much higher than the rest of the competition that little by little see how they are moving away from reaching the records of the same and they end up stopping their attempts. According to the developers themselves, the figure could rise to 1,000 million users in the coming months, so we could say that the growth of "Wasap" is really impressive and that much better times are predicted.
