Supplementary notes

After a long period of not disclosing WhatsApp user figures, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg stated in Facebook's Q1 2020 earnings call: "The other question was monetization on WhatsApp. I think there's a huge opportunity on WhatsApp, if for no other reason than that it has 2 billion people using it and we haven't done significant work on building out the business yet."

Data regarding April 2013 was taken from an April 2013 interview with WhatsApp CEO Jan Koum.
