O WhatsApp has grown immensely since it was acquired by Facebook, but breaking the record for calls in a single day? It happened on January 1, 2021, with more than 1.4 billion of calls (voice and video) made in just 24 hours.
The Covid-19 pandemic dictated that New Year's Eve was a little different than usual, with governments taking steps to ensure social distance. Well, video call apps like WhatsApp and Messenger were part of the methods for family and friends to connect, with Facebook advancing record call numbers.
WhatsApp again proved to be the users' favorite when it comes to user experience and commitment to the platform. This fact will most likely be a reflection of the great commitment of the development team, which has added several new features to the application over the past few months.
It should be noted that communication apps such as WhatsApp, Messenger, Skype and also Zoom had a significant increase in use in 2020. These services were used not only among family and friends but also between companies, which were forced to adopt work to continue operating in a pandemic context.
In short, although it was a different Christmas and New Year than usual, we are still able to find solutions to stay together. This is what matters most.
