WhatsApp have confirmed that status updates will begin showing ads in year 2020, Techmachos Reports.

At an annual Facebook Marketing Summit in Rotterdam, Netherlands, Facebook offered a first look at how its ads would look once implemented.

This revelation was confirmed on Twitter by Olivier Ponteville, the media head at a digital marketing agency based out of Brussels.

According to Ponteville, the ments will be shown between Whatsapp stories, just like Instagram stories.

In a video ads preview, Olivier explained that stories would be displayed entirely on the screen and a link will redirect s to the website.

From what we know so far, the ments will be powered by Facebook's native advertising system and would be aimed at helping s understand and participate in businesses using the messaging app.

Facebook's intentions to monetise WhatsApp had earlier forced the hugely popular messaging service's co-founders to leave the company.

For those who're aware, WhatsApp's "Status" feature allows s to share text, photos, videos, and animated GIFs that disappear after 24 hours — identical to how Instagram stories work.

Awesome

Thank God for Lucky Patcher, which helps to keep those annoying things off

We dont run on free wifi here in Nigeria, This is just another way to burn more data, I hope the network providers can see this and improve of the volumes we get on the bundles...

What rubbish is this nau

AD BLOCKER= WAY FORWARD

Hmm! That's when money keeps rolling in

if it happens, i'm going back to 2go

Nonsense

All of you that are complaining on how a company chooses to run his own business, if you are not okay with it, why don't you design your own software and run it however way you wish

That's why I hate Android OS, the ads everywhere are annoying.
I miss BlackBerry...

You don't get a BILLION s and not monetize it unless you run on Atlantic ocean

I think this is the best time for me to go back to 2go, at least it's owned by an African and consumes less data!!

Even the ads that comes up whenever I wanna watch YouTube videos makes me cringe, now you're bringing this shit to whatspapwh


Hey my 2go friends, raydos is coming back

OMGGG one of the reasons I like whatsapp is cos it's ad free. Our data zapping just got multiplied. I'll simply Port back to 2go. Who's coming with me?
