WhatsApp Isn't Just About Being International Anymore
For years, WhatsApp has been synonymous with international communication, bridging gaps across continents with its seamless messaging platform. However, recent developments indicate that WhatsApp is no longer just an international tool—it's becoming a central part of domestic communication, especially in the United States.
WhatsApp's Growing Presence in the U.S.
As of July 2024, WhatsApp has amassed over 100 million users in the United States. This milestone underscores a significant shift in the app's usage patterns, highlighting its growing appeal among American users.
A Game-Changing Update for iPhone Users
In a move that further cements its domestic relevance, WhatsApp has introduced a feature allowing iPhone users to set it as their default messaging and calling app. With the release of iOS 18.2, users can now replace the native Phone and Messages apps with WhatsApp, streamlining their communication experience.
To enable this feature:
Update WhatsApp to version 25.8.74.
Navigate to Settings > Apps > Default Apps.
Select WhatsApp as your default for both Messaging and Calling.
This integration signifies a pivotal moment, reflecting the app's deepening integration into everyday communication, beyond its traditional role in international messaging.
