post, " We are excited to have reached 400 million monthly active users
and even more excited to have achieved this without spending a dollar on
targeted ads or big marketing campaigns. We’re here because of all the
people who share their WhatsApp stories with co-workers, friends, and
loved ones – stories we love to hear."
