Yesterday we heard a rumor that Google were in talks with the developers of WhatsApp, a popular messaging app on mobile devices, and the deal was rumored to be worth around $1 billion US dollars.
Now it would appear that there is no deal on the table between Google and WhatsApp, the news comes from a WhatsApp executive who told All Things D that the company are not in talks with Google on a potential buyout.
This is not the first time WhatsApp has been linked to a rumored buyout, back in December, Facebook were rumored to be interested in purchasing the company, it will be interesting to see if this is just a rumor, or whether Google is interested in purchasing the company.
