Outline:
Circulating warning claims that cross-platform instant messaging application WhatsApp will start charging a per message fee unless users send the same warning to at least 10 contacts thereby proving that they are ‘avid users’.





Brief Analysis:
The message is just a silly hoax. WhatsApp is NOT about to start charging users for sending messages. The supposed warning is a new variant of several previous hoaxes. Sending on this absurd warning will help nobody.
