The WhatsApp app announced today that it has decided to discontinue annuals subscriptions making the service completely free for everyone.
The subscription model of the application was somewhat unclear if some users used the service for free, while others had to make a small subscription to continue using it.
One could say that the subscription (1 dollar per year) was quite cheap especially if someone uses WhatsApp on a regular basis.
Η WhatsApp nevertheless announced:
"Many WhatsApp users do not have a debit or credit number card και ανησυχούν ότι θα χάσουν την πρόσβαση με τους φίλους και την οικογένειά τους.”
So the company which now belongs to Facebook announced the termination of the subscription service, something we will see in the coming weeks.
