This chart from TechinAsia tracks the official number of monthly active users (MAUs) on WeChat as reported by Tencent through the most recent quarter (Q2 2014). WeChat continued its impressive growth, adding over 40 million MAUs, although the downward trend in annual growth rates may indicate a saturation point as most netizens are already using the app. With WhatsApp currently at 500 million MAUs, it will be interesting to see if the China-centric messaging app will take the top spot this year. But with expansion plans ramping up in Southeast Asia and South America, Tencent appears to be shifting its focus to growing those markets outside of the mainland. [TechinAsia]
日前,腾讯发布2014年第二季度财报,公布微信月平均活跃用户数已超过四亿多,直逼Whatsapp的五亿用户群。根据腾讯在东南亚及南美洲市场的大举布局,很多专家预测,今年微信很有可能超越Whatsapp,成为拥有最多用户的移动端通讯应用。[TechinAsia]
WeChat hits 438 million monthly active users.
