Ian Kum was already disappointed in his offspring and decided to quit this “hopeless” case, but Brian Acton convinced him to continue working. The first application was created for the iPhone, but at first, things went tight due to a large number of crashes. Its name was invented based on the English phrase “What’s Up?” which is used for greeting in the format. So there was a convenient messenger that allows you to chat online. Then young people thought about creating a platform application for mobile devices that would allow them to communicate not by sending SMS, but in the form of live chat. They applied for a job on Facebook, but they were refused.
Its founders are two friends, Brian Acton and Ian Kum, who worked at Yahoo !, but wanted to deal with more global issues.
