WhatsApp Will Introduce Advertisements on Status Soon

With a motive to connect peoples around WhatsApp came into the cyber world on 3rd May 2009. Whatsapp is a freeware, cross-platform messaging app now owned by Facebook, Inc.

From the last 10 years, it has made its top position in the messaging app category. But since then it wasn't having any source of earning and profit in spite of only serving features to is users free of cost.
In Recent years, Whatsapp has released a lot of new features in-app which is now loved a lot by its users. Now, for this instant messaging app is going to be a more eventful year in 2020. One of the most buzzed feature of this platform which is expected to be launched in 2020 is its Status Ads display feature.
Yes, that sounds true.

Facebook, Inc by lead by Mark Zukerberg has already started the advertisements on your feeds in apps like Facebook and Instagram. Now WhatsApp will be a new member to join this team.
The announcement of the Status Ads Display feature of WhatsApp was made in Facebook Marketing Summit(FMC) in Netherland, 2019. The announcement says that in Status Ads, users will be able to identify the name of advertising authority with their advertisement. The date of the feature release has not been revealed yet.

The 'Status Ads' feature is going to be available for both iOS and Android users when it finally does go Live though. However, already under attack because of privacy concerns, it'll be interesting as to if a WhatsApp user's display picture and how much of a user's profile data, if at all, is seen by the advertisers. Users will need to swipe up to go to the advertised product or service's page, quite almost like how a similar thing works in Instagram Stories. WhatsApp Ads are going to be integrated into your WhatsApp Status, very similar to Instagram ads on Instagram Stories.

Your WhatsApp Status shows pictures, videos, texts and other multimedia files that you simply could also be uploading to share together with your contacts. WhatsApp ads will work in a similar manner.
However, on your WhatsApp Status, only the name of the advertiser and a fast glimpse of the Ad are going to be shown. To see the entire advertisement, users will need to swipe up. WhatsApp will suggest ads to users on the idea of their interests and behavior.

Let's see how exciting will it be WhatsApp with this new feature.
