WhatsApp: How Facebook wants to make money with Messenger

• In mid-2015, WhatsApp had around 800 million active users, and by 2016 the billion is expected to be cracked. The Messenger costs users a fee of 89 cents per year.
• WhatsApp never wanted anything to do with advertising, but Facebook largely lives off it. WhatsApp ads would be possible and lucrative, but this step would hurt Messenger in the long run.
• Paid accounts are more likely for companies that use WhatsApp for customer service, for example. Services such as the CHIP news for WhatsApp could also be subject to costs for the companies.
