WhatsApp has grown at a phenomenal rate with over 450 million people using the service. This number grows at a staggering  1 million new registered users each day. It has a very healthy userbase, with almost 70% of registered customers logging in each day.

Facebook also announced today that it has reached a definitive agreement to acquire WhatsApp, so it’s official.

At this point details on the future status of WhatsApp’s services were not disclosed.
