In order to gain this achievement, the company\u00a0have been working really hard in advertising the\u00a0app. And then\u00a0because of its great quality,\u00a0the users recommend this app for their friends and family members.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The second reason\u00a0behind the no.1 position of WhatsApp is that people tend to use\u00a0the apps that already have big user base.\u00a0<\/strong>When you try a new social media app, I&#8217;m sure you don&#8217;t want to play it alone. With this messaging application, you don&#8217;t have to invite your friends and family members to join you, because most of them are already there. Using another service\u00a0may make you lose touch with some of your buddy.<\/p><div style=\"float: none; display: block; margin: 0 -10px; text-align: center;\"><!-- ph_pricepony_article_incontent_1 -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:inline-block;width:336px;height:280px\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4796993490224996\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"7528541080\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n<!-- ph_pricepony_article_incontent_2 -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:inline-block;width:336px;height:280px\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4796993490224996\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"2964262507\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n<\/div><\/p>\n<p><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/whatsapp-hihi-e1472621051381.webp 628w,https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/whatsapp-hihi-e1472621051381-300x136.webp 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 628px) 100vw, 628px\" type=\"image\/webp\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/whatsapp-hihi-e1472621051381.jpg\" height=\"285\" width=\"628\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/whatsapp-hihi-e1472621051381.jpg 628w, https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/whatsapp-hihi-e1472621051381-300x136.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 628px) 100vw, 628px\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-23868 sp-no-webp\" alt=\"whatsapp hihi\" decoding=\"async\"  > <\/picture><\/p>\n<p><strong>The third reason why WhatsApp is so popular is that it is an\u00a0ad-free service.\u00a0<\/strong>Only a very few messaging apps in the market don&#8217;t come with ads.
