It has become a culture to have Whatsapp messager on your Smartphone. More than a billion people around the world today depends on WhatsApp to stay connected with their friends and family daily.
Whatsapp has evolved from just being an App on phones or tablets but it has become a very useful tool and a part of so many people. They no longer value their Devices once their Whatsapp Subscription has expired.
According to Whatsapp Blog, they stated that Whatsapp will nolonger charge for using the application as a messaging tool and so, therefore, th Users will have an unlimited use on Whatsapp.
"That's why we're happy to announce that WhatsApp will no longer charge subscription fees. For many years, we've asked some people to pay a fee for using WhatsApp after their first year. As we've grown, we've found that this approach hasn't worked well. 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."
They also made it Clear on how they will not make ads become part of it since no more subscription fee as everyone will begin to wonder how they will keep the App running without charges so, they plan on making Whatsapp a platform like WeChat app which has other supported extensions to be installed on it. This will definitely become a major income benefit to the Whatsapp as it will like to commercial firms like banks and other institute like online markets, hospitals and other others like TV Stations followups. Some other additional features will be added according to stated in Whatsapp Blog.
"Naturally, people might wonder how we plan to keep WhatsApp running without subscription fees and if today's announcement means we're introducing third-party ads. The answer is no. Starting this year, we will test tools that allow you to use WhatsApp to communicate with businesses and organizations that you want to hear from. That could mean communicating with your bank about whether a recent transaction was fraudulent, or with an airline about a delayed flight. We all get these messages elsewhere today – through text messages and phone calls – so we want to test new tools to make this easier to do on WhatsApp, while still giving you an experience without third-party ads and spam."
