Are you using WhatsApp? Get ready for Ads apart from regular spam and scams. WhatsApp explores ads in chat app as Meta seeks revenue boost https://www.ft.com/content/41f334a5-856c-4512-b550-eb6062036224 . According to two sources, Meta is considering implementing a subscription fee for an ad-free version of the app, but this idea is unpopular among many insiders. Why?
WhatsApp was created due to Apple and Google's lack of consistency and focus on their own messaging apps instead of working on standards. So now, everyone is at the mercy of one of the worst privacy offenders.
