The reason why WhatsApp only follows one account on Twitter

Although it is not the best instant messaging app, the truth is that WhatsApp is the most popular tool of this style.

It came at the right time when you had to pay for SMS and offered all users of smart devices the possibility of chatting with all their contacts completely free of charge.

In this vein, if any of you are used to social networks and more specifically to Twitter, you will have noticed that the official WhatsApp account only follows an account called Red Rock, a cafe located in Mountain View. Nothing from other tech companies, nothing from influencers. Just in a cafe. Because?

Why WhatsApp just follows a cafe on Twitter

WhatsApp was created in a cafe

Before Facebook bought WhatsApp for billions of dollars, the app was a tool like any other. A small start-up which, like Google or Apple, was born in a rather modest place.

WhatsApp was not born in a big company, if not among the tables, chairs and the aroma of coffee in a cafeteria. Indeed, this place is called Red Rock Coffee and it is located in Mountain View. It is therefore the only Twitter account that WhatsApp follows on this social network..

The anecdote was told in 2016 by the cafeteria itself, specifying that the WhatsApp code was created between coffee and coffee. Oddly enough, the developers of the messaging app must have loved this site, and they promised Red Rock owners that their headquarters would never move more than two blocks from the premises. That would of course be before Zuckerberg arrived with the tickets under his arm.
