Meta has finally added ads to WhatsApp, starting with the Status feature in the Updates tab. Don’t worry—your private messages are still encrypted. But this move means the app is now another Meta moneymaker.
-
Ads appear only in Status, not personal chats
-
Personalized by your language, location & channels
-
New features: Paid channel subscriptions + promoted content
-
WhatsApp daily users now over 1.5 billion
-
Meta made $160B+ last year from ads—WhatsApp’s turn now
👉 Why this matters: Ads are coming to every screen you use — even ones you trusted for privacy. Stay alert.
