WhatsApp used to be a yearly paid app. Even though they rarely actually "collected".

I wish it still was and Meta never got their grubby hands on it.

I was one of the suckers that actually paid for Whatsapp back in 2014. Back then it was just a way to support the devs. They'll never be able to charge for Whatsapp, with all these different free options like Telegram.
