since when did you had to pay for whatsapp?

Yeah I was going to ask the same question. I know I have it on my Blackberry and I certainly don't remember paying for it. Nor would I really, given that BBM is free and available on Android, Blackberry 10 and iOS.

It wasn't much. Was it like £1 or less for the year?

69p/€0.89 a year.

You got the first year for free, then you should've paid, but the free subscription just kept extending itself as long as you didn't. If you check you Account/ Settings within the app it'll give you a date when your subscription 'runs out'.

Ah, that explains it then. Thinking back I do recall them saying something about paying...

Thing is I installed it about four months ago and used it once. I just ended up going back to BBM.
