WhatsApp recently announced that it would be dropping its subscription model, making the instant messaging platform completely free for all of its subscribers.
One of the changes that have accompanied this new development is the removal of a subscription due date. Users of WhatsApp are familiar with prompt for a renewal that comes with an expiration of the service when payment is due. Now that subscription has been terminated, this will no longer be an issue.
