Whatsapp removed annual subscription

Whatsapp users will no longer be greeted to this messageWhatsapp explains that the official reason for removing the annual fee is that many of its users across the globe don't even have a credit/debit card, and are afraid they might lose their conversations and access to their preferred messenger. This is definitely more of a deterring factor than it is promoting healthy growth.Question now remains how Whatsapp will monetize its huge user base. Whatsapp explains that there will be no third-party ads (which would be a huge turn-off for most users), and instead the company plans to bring new functionality to allow customers to communicate with businesses they care about: it would be possible to contact your bank via Whatsapp, for instance, ifyou are worried about a fraudulent transaction, orcheck with an air carrier about the status of a flight.Acquired by Facebook in late 2014 for a whopping $22 billion, Whatsapp is one of the world's most popular messenger clients, second only to Facebook Messenger in terms of spread. It is available on a vast range of platforms, from Android and iPhone, to Windows Phone, BlackBerry OS and even the dated Symbian and Nokia S40 platforms.
