WhatsApp Costly Affair? WhatsApp is charging you !! We all love WhatsApp for free messaging, but how does the app make money? Unlike flashy ads, WhatsApp works a bit differently. Here's how it works! 1. Subscription Surprise: Did you know WhatsApp used to charge a yearly fee (around ₹10)? They ditched it for a free model. So, how do they earn now? 2. Business Bonanza: Free for you, but not businesses! WhatsApp Business lets companies chat with customers, share catalogs, and send reminders. Businesses pay a fee for this service, making it a goldmine for WhatsApp. 3. Chatbot Cha-Ching: Imagine a bot that books flights or orders food right on WhatsApp! Businesses can create chatbots to interact with customers, and WhatsApp might take a cut of these interactions in the future. It has other strategys to earn but i cannot extend it because of the limit. What do you think about the business model of Amazon ? Follow me for knowing how !!

As long as they keep the core personal messaging free without ads, I'm fine with them monetizing business use cases. Feels like a fair compromise.

I can see chatbots becoming massive on WhatsApp if they nail the UX. Can easily book cabs, order food etc. all within the app. Will be lucrative for WhatsApp to take a cut.
