That’s great news! I let all my contacts switch to other messengers if they want to stay in touch.
I genuinely hope this happens so I can push my friends towards Signal.
I bailed to signal the day after Facebook bought whatsapp. No regrets and nothing lost :)
Hope you have more luck, Viber is extremely annoying with their notifications and ads and almost everyone here still uses it. Can’t get away from it but at least it’s not whatsapp I guess…
Never heard about viber. I guess I’m just lucky!

Remeber when whatapp was a paid service before Facebook bought them
I used Whatsapp before it was bought by Facebook and it was not paid
It was, but they were delaying the free period. Right before it was bought I remember they started to stop extending them, so some users had to pay. I know some people that paid, it wasn’t much money.
I remember, maybe 13+ years ago you’d pay like 90 cts a year to use it after a free year. But it hasnt cost money in a long time.
It was like £1 per year
