Remeber when whatapp was a paid service before Facebook bought them

I used Whatsapp before it was bought by Facebook and it was not paid

[–] FoolHen 8 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It was, but they were delaying the free period. Right before it was bought I remember they started to stop extending them, so some users had to pay. I know some people that paid, it wasn't much money.

I remember, maybe 13+ years ago you'd pay like 90 cts a year to use it after a free year. But it hasnt cost money in a long time.

It was like £1 per year

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Nah, it was always free. Never paid anything on my personal no and WhatsApp always gave extension.
