Whatsapp with over 500 million downloads is definitely one of the most popular instant messaging app released on any mobile platform. According to whatsapp, over 1 billion messages are sent and received using whatsapp everyday.
Whatsapp is a free app to download and available on almost every platform. As I said the app can be downloaded free, but it comes with 1-year free subscription. After that, you have to pay $0.99 (INR 60) to renew one-year subscription. This seems to be fair considering WhatsApp is an ad free messaging app.

It will also come in handy if you are switching to other device then your whatsapp messages can be easily transferred/restored to that devices.
