However, a report by the Washington Post on Monday said that Koum could not accept WhatsApp because it was contrary to Facebook's plans. WhatsApp is now managed by Facebook.

Koum was complaining that user's personal information from WhatsApp is being taken on Facebook and the value of WhatsApp encryption is being weakened.

Koum said, "The WhatsApp Team is much stronger than before and it will do great work. However, I would like to say good wishes out of WhatsApp.
