Viber: There are 100 million users in our app at the same time

The Israeli messenger, acquired in February by the Japanese company Rakuten for $ 900 million, reported that with a user base of 362 million people, it has more than 100 million users "on line" at a time.

Viber is the first messenger to report on "online numbers". Therefore, it is impossible to compare its performance with that of its direct competitors. But you can compare downloads.

For example, KakaoTalk recently reported breaking the 500 million installation mark. The MAU of the latter is 145 million. The number of monthly users of WeChat is 400 million, WhatsApp is 500 million.

Returning to Viber.

Despite a solid user base and being in the box office Top 10 in 40 countries, it cannot yet be called profitable. Last year, the company's net losses amounted to $29.5 million.

Perhaps if a game showcase appears in the application, the situation will change, while only stickers can be bought in the application.
