I paid for Whatsapp many years ago. I wonder if they can just do that retroactively.
Sure they can
You paid??? What is this, a WinRAR equivalent flex?
I just reinstalled or something like that can't remember.
The app market was different back then. No real alternatives, not meta owned, I think I paid 1€. Nowadays I wouldn't pay for any app other than a good Lemmy reader, I also use my phone for not much else anymore.
Yeah but like I had WhatsApp back then and I simply reinstalled or something like that.
Like it was like WinRAR more a suggestion than a strong requirement, there were ways to bypass it, start the 1 free year again or whatever it was called back then.

There wasn't a strong enforcement or validation.
I think I paid 79p for WhatsApp back on the iPhone 3G or something.
