I think the reasons are :
1. It's free ( if you already have Internet on your phone )
2. It's very easy to use and fast
3. The multimedia experience is better than MMS
4. Group chats
5. Network effects ( Some companies provide customer service through WhatsApp, your friends may already hang out in certain WhatsApp groups etc )
Unfortunately many people have to mute WhatsApp messages because they may be in a family group, getting too many messages and it may be considered rude to leave
