WhatsApp is now free and promising to stay ad free

WhatsApp is letting go of its subscription fees which users previously pay so as to gain access to the famous messaging service. WhatsApp adopted a fee system some few years back; giving new users no other option but to pay an annual 99 cents subscription after the first year. “As we’ve grown, we’ve found that this approach hasn’t worked well,” WhatsApp officially admitted in a company blog post today.

WhatsApp is now free promising to stay ad free

“Many WhatsApp users don’t have a debit or credit card number and they worried they’d lose access to their friends and family after their first year. So over the next several weeks, we’ll remove fees from the different versions of our app and WhatsApp will no longer charge you for our service.” NO REFUNDS IF YOU’VE ALREADY PAID THE FEE In the case where you have been making use of WhatsApp for the six years it has open to use, then it is possible you couldn’t have seen these subscription fees.

A lot of original users were gifted a free lifetime service, but lately just some few years past, the company initiated the introduction of subscription to new users. Should you have already paid the 99 cents for the year then there wouldn’t the occurrence of a refund, but then subscription fees will stops at once.

On record, WhatsApp now has boasts a user base close to 1 billion users, so the free timing keeps off the barrier for millions more to jump on the messaging service. From the look of things, the Facebook-owned service is nursing plans to generate revenue via services to businesses. “We will test tools that allow you to use WhatsApp to communicate with businesses and organizations that you want to hear from.” The implication of this is that you could have the capacity to send WhatsApp messages to your airlines sometime to come. WhatsApp is not really making plans to grant third-party ads the enablement to the service, and it is maintaining its stand to its founding principles. The founders of WhatsApp were notably in opposition to ads, famously acclaiming back in 2012 that “when advertising is involved you the user are the product.”

Twitter to Expand Tweet’s 140-Character Limit to 10,000

Twitter is planning to make expansion to a tweet’s 140-character moving it further to 10,000. The 140-character happens to be one of the prized features of Twitter, and it could change.

Twitter to Expand Tweet’s 140-Character Limit to 10,000

Twitter’s outspoken and dedicated user base vehemently lambasted the prospective change — with the expectations that it could be announced by March ending— would contaminate the brevity as much as the speed of the real-time service. The character limit that coercively prompts users to write quick short tweets now stand to be replaced by lengthier essays found on Facebook , for instance. It has the strength to mould Twitter into more of a public blogging platform which is quite different from one that is quite direct and well appropriate to quips as well as breaking news headlines.

In a tweet on Tuesday following the disclosure of the news, co-founder and CEO Jack Dorsey tweeted a screenshot of text — 1,317 characters with spaces — giving explanation to his perception as regards the expansion. “We’ve spent a lot of time observing what people are doing on Twitter, and we see them taking screenshots of text and tweeting it,” Mr. Dorsey wrote. “Instead, what if that text…was actually text? Text that could be searched. Text that could be highlighted. That’s more utility and power.” Even in face of the change, Mr. Dorsey aired his assertion that Twitter will “never lose that feeling” of speed, creativity and brevity.

Despite the loud cries of the change will make alterations to the general culture of Twitter, though it is true that users have been rattling for a longer character limit for some time. Very dedicated users often create so-called tweetstorms where they add together a collection of tweets together by replying to them in numerical succession.

Users have managed to maneuver through the character restriction via means of attaching screenshots of longer text to their tweets.

Back in July, Twitter expanded the 140-character limit on private messages to 10,000.

The debate to make increment to the character limit has been raging on since as early as September.
