Ever Saw any type of Ad on Whatsapp!?
Wonder how Whatsapp Makes Money and Runs!!?
Whatsapp: The leading OTT messaging service. There is always a prominent question baffling every user’s mind - How is Whatsapp able to make money when its services are free of cost?
1)Subscription Fee: Whatsapp allows it’s user to enjoy the services for free for first year. However, after that it charges $0.99 for continued service. But till date, I have not heard of a single person who has paid for this service. Interestingly, it tends to extend the free service period every time a user reaches close to the expiry date.So this method of revenue generation that seems like the only visible revenue generation scheme is actually not generating the revenue.

2) According to a speculation, the revenue generation for Whatsapp is primarily through database management. All the conversations on Whatsapp are backed up on Whatsapp servers constantly. Our conversations reflect our interests, likes, dislikes and majorly depicts our preferences. This information is invaluable to big firms where relevant tailor made products can be offered after data sorting.Let’s take a deeper look into this!Whatsapp users have been ever increasingsince the launch currently numbering out users on any other competitor.
Users of Whatsapp
Given such high number of users, the number of messages exchanged per day isalso incredibly high in case of Whatsapp- peaking as high as 42 billion. With such extensive information available on Whatsapp backups, the big companies arewilling to pay handsome amounts for information extraction.This data management scheme is merely aspeculation. As evident, Whatsapp is not involved in ad marketing. Any user can vouch for the fact that it does not support advertisements. Whatsapp’s CEO Jan Koum clearly states that Whatsapp is meant for instant messaging and forcing advertisements would disrupt the sole meaning of that. There is no way to justify the data management ideology, but then there is no other justified revenue model as well in the store.
Things to Note Here:
 1. Whatsapp Costs 1$ in some of the countries whereas in some parts it was free for first year.
2.  Whatsapp was standalone platform at the time of launch which managed mass real-time messaging which can be said as pioneering of real-time messaging.

 3. Whatsapp proved out to be FACEBOOK'S Direct Competitor and hence the Cost 19Bn$!

 At last, the team belived that -

  There are only very few things that are free and enjoyable - water. air, love and whatsapp happens to be one of them.

What is EDM? STOP CALLING EDM EDM - HERE IS A PROPER DEFINITION What you're calling EDM falls under the umbrella term of electronic dance music - but it's not EDM. The reason why, is that there is no EDM subgenre. Wait, you mean EDM is not a subgenre of EDM? SHOCKING. Then what really EDM is? Electronic dance music is a set of percussive electronic music genres produced primarily for dance-based entertainment environments, such as nightclubs or festivals. Dance music is generally produced for use by DJs and is most often presented in the context of a DJ mix. EDM Dominates Pop Music Crossover artists are nothing new to the music industry. Pop artists are always finding their way into other genres, and EDM is no except to this.

Artists like Justin Bieber , Ariana Grande, Ryan Tedder, Sia, and Lil Jon are just

What is Prisma? Prisma is a very simple photo-editing app created by an app developer in Moscow. Users either select a photo from their smartphone or tablet's image library or take an image with the camera and then select one of 33 different filters inspired by famous art styles like Picasso, Monet, Van Gogh, Munch, Levitan and Kandinsky, as well as popular patterns and ornaments like DC comic book illustrations. How does Prisma work? Prisma utilises artificial intelligence and neural networks to edit your photos. So it might take only a few seconds for your photos to be turned into art, but the image processing is not happening within the app – instead the image has to be sent to Prisma's servers in Moscow and then the result is returned to your phone. This is not dissimilar to Google's DeepDream "inceptionism" image recognition software, which set the internet alight in June 2015 when Google's computer scientists released research de
