WhatsApp used to charge, but really what they'd do is just charge facebook & whoever else for the data they're sharing.

  Did they actually charge though? I remember hearing about that but it's been my sole method of messaging for years and I never remember setting up payments with them

    yeah they did. 0,99€ was the purchase of my whatsapp back then

    IIRC it was 99 cents per year, and you could just keep "skipping" the payment. I don't think they ever cut anyone off from using it for not paying. A little bit like shareware (or nagware?).

  I think they charged 1 Euro when you bought the app. I doubt that covers the costs to keep it running.
