WhatsApp has announced for some time that today it will launch its only service through which it will monetize the huge user base it still has globally, although many people are not happy about it. Although WhatsApp started as a company that promised not to make money "on the backs" of users, here it is in the end because Facebook needed a method to generate revenue with the largest messaging platform on the planet.
WhatsApp officially launched today a service called Business APIs, this allowing the American company to ask for money from companies to put them in contact with users on its platform. WhatsApp has also created a special application for companies that want to pay for the privilege of using it Business API-ul to get in touch with people, but no one knows yet how much the monthly subscriptions cost.

However, WhatsApp did not think of the system to be totally to our detriment, and this is because the charging of the companies will only be done if they are asked, in relation to anything, by the users, and they answer at least 24 hours after receiving the answer. WhatsApp will charge companies for each message sent through its platform after 24 hours have passed since receiving the initial message, but the rates are different according to each country where the system is active.
WhatsApp has more than 1.5 billion users worldwide at the moment, the American company is increasing its user base every month, and that means it will squeeze even more money from companies all over the planet. WhatsApp has not released this yet Business APIs including in Romania, so for now we will not be affected by the forced monetization that the Facebook company is doing for the platform.
