Aren't people here old enough to recall paying for WhatsApp's original subscription fee? Circa 2016: https://www.techspot.com/news/63504-whatsapp-waves-goodbye

  I don't think anyone ever paid the whatsapp subscription fee. I remember they announced it, nobody accepted paying it and the app kept functionning and they dropped the idea.

    Friends of mine did for Android or the app stopped functioning. You also had to pay a one time fee to even download it on iOS. But yeah, most users didn't have to.

      Maybe they enforced it first on some regions and since it backfired other regions didn't have to pay.
