Some people have this idea that things are supposed to be free, but $0.99 really nothing to complain about, considering that for that tiny amount, you can enjoy an ad-free experience. In a blog post announcing the latest version (iPhone v2.10.1), the WhatsApp team makes it very clear that all platforms are on equal footing now.įrom now on, we’ve simplified our business model so that all users on all platforms will enjoy their first year of WhatsApp service for free, and only pay $.99 per year after that. After that, users need to pay a $0.99 annual subscription fee – which is actually what’s going on with other platforms. You’ve probably saved so much more using the app, not to mention enjoyed it.Īnyhow, with the new update to WhatsApp, everyone can get it for free for the first year.

If you’re one of those who paid $0.99 to download the app – which used to be the case – don’t whine. WhatsApp for iOS is now free to download. All that talk about the business model of instant messaging service WhatsApp has been going around for quite some time, but now, it’s official.
