Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, who is
visiting Delhi, said on Thursday that his
company has no immediate plans to monetise
WhatsApp.
"It currently has 600 million users. We would
like to see at least 1 billion users on
WhatsAppp. For now we are focusing on
monetising. WhatsApp will continue to charge
$1 per year that it currently charges but other
than that there are no immediate plans around
revenue," said Zuckerberg.
He added that in the long run WhatsApp will
have great revenue opportunities.
Facebook's final WhatsApp acquisition price
tag has risen an additional $3 billion to roughly
$22 billion because of the increased value of
Facebook's stock in recent months.
WhatsApp works across different types of
phones, across borders, and without
advertising. The app only charges a 99 cent
annual subscription fee, which is waived for
the first year.
