WhatsApp used to not be free, I'm talking about before meta bought them, and totally worth paying the subscription for as they were the one of the kind multi-platform messenger working with all the non-smart phones that have internet connectivity and ability to install 3rd party apps.
And back when they charged for service they do not collect all your data.
I remember WhatsApp telling me I only got a year free when I first started using it but they never asked for payment after that. Maybe that fell in line with Meta buying them.
