WhatsApp, the hugely popular messaging service used by thousands in Gibraltar, will now require iOS users to pay a $1 annual subscription fee.

Launched in 2009, the free messaging service boasts 10 billion messages sent and 17 billion received on an average day. It initially required a one-off app purchase fee for iOS users who will now join the same subscription system which applies to other platforms like Android and BlackBerry.
