Whatsapp goes free, says it won't introduce ads

Whatsapp has announced it will drop its subscription fee, making the service free for everyone. Even better, it won't start showing third-party ads to users, though it has an idea on how to better connect users with business and organizations

The change, announced in an official blog post Monday, removes the fee that was imposed on some users after a year of use

"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," the blog post reads.
