I'm not sure what to tell you, I'm not fabricating the fact there was very much a yearly subscription fee associated with the app (and prior to that a price to just download the app). I'm aware it didn't apply universally which is why I specifically said it varied depending on platform. https://www.imore.com/whatsapp-moves-yearly-subscription-payment-app-now-free-download https://www.imore.com/whatsapp-moves-yearly-subscription-pay...

Well, you claimed in the post I responded to a monthly subscription, not an annual one. What's a factor of twelve between friends? My understanding is that the annual fee was essentially nonexistent, honored far more on the breach than in the observance, though all I know for sure is that they never charged me.

  Not sure why I typed /month, it was always a yearly fee or a flat fee to buy the app. Can't edit it at this point.

I have an iTunes receipt from 2013 for 69p paid for a year's worth of Whatsapp service. Their message then was "we charge because we don't want to show you ads". IIRC they were always free in emerging markets like India though.
