No. WhatsApp&#x27;s primary markets are India and Brazil. In India, iOS&#x27;s market share is less than 2%. In Brazil, it&#x27;s a respectable 12%, but WhatsApp is hugely dominant in contemporary communication in Brazil.<p>[1] <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.statista.com&#x2F;statistics&#x2F;262157&#x2F;market-share-held-by-mobile-operating-systems-in-india&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.statista.com&#x2F;statistics&#x2F;262157&#x2F;market-share-held-...</a> [2] <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.statista.com&#x2F;statistics&#x2F;262167&#x2F;market-share-held-by-mobile-operating-systems-in-brazil&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.statista.com&#x2F;statistics&#x2F;262167&#x2F;market-share-held-...</a>

It is not even close. Unless this runs on Android phones it would not be much of a threat to whatsapp.
