      Yes, in very poor countries, they subsidize the data usage for WhatsApp, so that it’s free to end users. It’s extraordinarily popular in Asia and Africa as a result.

      5 billion downloads on the Play store. Apparently about 1-2 billion of those are not very active. Still huge numbers though.

      Yes, especially in India. It’s not a surprise that India is Whatsapp’s biggest market.
