    WhatsApp built its user base on the promise of free messaging

    Really? Because initially, WhatsApp did actually charge money for the service, though it was only $1 a year. But I don’t remember them ever promising free messaging.

    Fun fact, WhatsApp wasn’t even designed as a messenger in the first place, it was just meant as an app to show your status (like “at the movies”), but then evolved into one.
