Kris Carlon
Putting down roots in Berlin after six years of traveling is a major step for Kris Carlon, who has spent more time living out of a tent lately than sitting at a desk. Kris comes to the AndroidPIT Editorial Team via a lengthy period spent writing on art and culture in Australia and other places he has lived. He joined the Android community while resurfacing in civilization back in 2010 and has never looked back, using technology to replace his actual presence in other people's lives ever since.WhatsApp just can't seem to catch a break lately. Firstly they get the ''good'' news that they are all about to become filthy rich when Facebook purchased the instant messaging company, then the service promptly goes down. Everyone then flocks to rival messenger Telegram while WhatsApp gets hacked repeatedly by malware scams. Nevertheless, yesterday WhatsApp managed to handle 64 billion messages in a single 24-hour time frame, and then today the service goes down yet again.

I'm no mathematician, but that sounds an awful lot like a 15% volume increase in less than a quarter, even with the supposed mass exodus to more secure instant messaging services. At this rate WhatsApp will hit 100 billion by the end of the year.
Not exactly the encore you'd like after a record-breaking day at WhatsApp. / © AndroidPITThat is, assuming the service doesn't continue to crash and get hacked. No sooner had the kerfuffle over the multiple malware hacks accessing WhatsApp's phone number account identifiers blown over than the site goes down yet again. What's worse, is it goes down the very next day after the record-breaking message volume figure gets tweeted to the world. No official confirmation of the outage has appeared on WhatsApp's status Twitter account, but the app is bringing up a server outage message for many users. Let's just hope the issue is fixed in time for the next malware attack.
