Facebook had essentially all of WhatsApp's users, and they still paid $20B for it. I should have said "users and the time the spend on it".

On Device Research said the overlap was only 24% in the USA. 45% only used Facebook and 31% only used WhatsApp.

Also, WhatsApp was strong in some parts of the globe where Facebook was weaker. In particular, WhatsApp was used in mainland China where Facebook was banned.
