WhatsApp Is Finally Adding Ads, Plus Promoted Channels & Channel Subscriptions
WhatsApp is finally getting ads. Ads will appear on the Status page, where users consume Stories-style content. Businesses will also be able to promote their Channels in the Explore tab and offer paid subscriptions for exclusive updates.
Why It Matters: Ads have long been unavailable on the platform, but Meta is taking a slow approach to introducing them in a way that minimizes disruption and preserves privacy, at least on paper.
