Whatsapp has dropped its suscription fees.WhatsApp introduced the fees a few years ago, forcing new users to pay an annual 99 cents subscription after the first year.
Well the Good news is, that fees has been dropped.
In the companys blog post today they said--
“As we’ve grown, we’ve found that
this approach hasn’t worked well,” admits WhatsApp in a company blog post today.
“Many WhatsApp users don’t have a
debit or credit card number and they worried they’d lose access to their friends
and family after their first year. So over the next several weeks, we’ll remove
fees from the different versions of our app and WhatsApp will no longer charge
you for our service.”
WhatsApp now has nearly 1 billion
users, so the free timing removes the barrier for millions more to join the
messaging service. The Facebook-owned service plans appears to be planning to
generate revenue through services to businesses.
“We will test tools that allow you
to use WhatsApp to communicate with businesses and organizations that you want
to hear from.”
