Terrible idea

Thank God for Lucky Patcher, which helps to keep those annoying things off

is it an app? How do I get it?

WhatsApp. Be careful before Chinese copy una oo. I no wan hear story oo. M

I'm all for a democratic America than evil China Chinko

Last month, I sat and took stock of the data I had burned chatting since I joined whatsap. And the time I had spent fooling around in the name of chatting with people who don't care about you, people who won't waste time to move on after your demise... Well it is expected. I deleted two whatsapps (Business and Normal).
Today I only have Facebook messenger.
1. Less depression.
2. Less gossip.
3. Less competition.
4. More me time.
5. More study time.
6. My life is more private.
7. I have cut off false friends.
8. No pressure.
9. I now write more songs.
10. I will add musical instrument 17 to my abilities.

All of you that are complaining on how a company chooses to run his own business, if you are not okay with it, why don't you design your own software and run it however way you wish

shut up Ignoramus. We are the consumers so we have every right to protest. Who raised you

2020 is here already. Let's wait and see

We dont run on free wifi here in Nigeria, This is just another way to burn more data, I hope the network providers can see this and improve of the volumes we get on the bundles...

Bro, Nigeria is among the cheapest when it comes to how many GB you can get per $.

I prefer the old days where I have to pay for yearly sub of $1 or so. This ads of a thing is not too cool for me biko. Someone should design another app to take over, we need a app for just text and call.

if it happens, i'm going back to 2go

Hehehe

Mark is just too greedy and self centred

With over 2 billions subscribers on Facebook, whatsapp, instangram plus 13 other more yet he is still eyeing placing ad on whatsapp status

You are way more greedy to have made such claim.
You should be willing to pay for services you use or get ads instead if you don't.

Subscription would be way better

So they should pay $22bn for WhatsApp and make no money from it?

Your comment is unprofessional.

All over the world, users are complaining.

WhatsApp is where it is at the moment because of its users.

Billions of people cannot be wrong at the same time.

Its not about how rich Mark is bro. It's business.

Have u ever considered how much WhatsApp spend daily to offset a server coverage for its "billion" users - and asked urself "how does WhatsApp make money"?

I hate ads, but we gotta be fair here, a company gotta be profitable or pack up.

This is where maturity comes to play. The folk never insulted you but made an opinion but you responded harshly.

If you are not willing to spend a dime for the things you use, either by Sub or Ads then you aren't a loyal customer.

How do you expect them to strive? by milking Facebook finances ??

I don't like the ads thingy myself but I obviously have no moral right to say they shouldn't profit from their own Biz. It doesn't sink in well

Those condemning the move are not realistic, do they know the cost of running the various data center that powers Facebook, WhatsApp and other SM?

Since the beginning of 2017, Facebook has announced five new cloud campuses. The social network now has 12 data center campuses around the globe, including nine in the U.S. and three in international markets. Facebook has nearly 15 million square feet of data center space completed or under construction, with several million more feet in the planning stages.

Each of these cloud campuses features enough land to build at least three data centers, and sometimes as many as six. Each data center is approximately 1,000 feet long, and includes multiple data halls, each of which houses tens of thousands of servers that process and store the status updates, photos and videos that are shared by Facebook users.

[quote author=EdeyHot post=78784596]American rarely use WhatApp. Which App do they use most?[/quotde]


Lol text with numbers. Texting is like when you call mtn 180 for free. have unlimited texting within for American and Canadian numbers(intra)...once you pay for minutes it comes with may be 200 minutes calls or unlimited calls depending on your package plus free internet subscription and free texting. But then some use WhatsApp still but not many.

I was actually expecting this. I know whatever that Facebook guy touches turns to dust. The original owners of whatsapp ran that software for many years and they made their money without interfering with the users of the app, then comes mark the greedy guy buying up all messaging apps so he can make every single dollar possible from everybody.
Now Whatsapp may become too laborious to use and probably uninteresting too.
