After much delay then, WhatsApp Pay is finally ready to roll-out to India\u2019s 400 million WhatsApp users. The plans for WhatsApp Pay go beyond India, however, with Reuters reporting<\/a> Mark Zuckerberg as saying in a recent Facebook earnings conference call, \u201cIt\u2019s a regulatory approval question in India at this point\u2026 We\u2019re also working beyond India in a number of other countries and hope to have this rolled out to a large percent of the people who use WhatsApp within the next year.\u201d It looks like WhatsApp Pay won\u2019t only be confined to Indian WhatsApp users.<\/p>\n

This one has been a long time brewing then, but it is clear that even though WhatsApp Pay is finally about to launch in India, there are still a lot of future developments to come with as Facebook seems to have some very grand plans for it.
