In addition to that, WhatsApp was available at the time on Symbian devices and Nokia’s S40 devices (I remember downloading Jar and Jad files for button mobile devices, and each update was free up to year then it was a dollar for a year)

Crazy! You made me remember i actually once paid for "something" when it comes to Whatsapp! Then they added somekind of disclaimer "will be a paid service xxxxxyyyy" but it never happened!

Yes I don't remember what I paid for.

Pretty sure i paid 0.99 for ... something. I don't remember what either. Might have been 1 year of service after the first year.
I think it was more or less “nag ware”. I remember clicking “no, later” multiple times in a row and they’d only ask like twice a year. I don’t think it ever stopped working for people who didn’t pay (afaik).
Hilarious we both don't know what we even paid for or why!
But it seemed all worth it at the time, right?
