WhatsApp in Brazil
In Brazil, instant messaging is one of the main uses of mobile devices, such as cell phones and smartphones. In addition, we are the second country in the world in number of WhatsApp users, second only to India. According to some studies, 96% of Brazilians use WhatsApp as their preferred means of messaging.
Finally, WhatsApp informs that the expansion of groups to up to 512 users and the “communities” function will not yet be available in the Brazilian market. According to the company, there is a justification that it will have a “long-term strategy” for Brazil and that it is not among the priority markets for the novelty.
