WhatsApp confirms Status Ads coming in 2020

Ads are coming to WhatsApp, finally, and the intrusion into the popular ad-free mobile messaging platform would begin from Status page. At a Facebook Marketing Summit in the Netherlands, Facebook revealed a 2020 launch date for WhatsApp Status ads. “WhatsApp will bring Stories Ads in its status product in 2020,” tweeted Olivier Ponteville who attended the conference this week. The news first came in October when media reported that the Facebook-owned messaging app is planning to allow advertisements to be displayed in the “Status” section of the app. Source: Daily Pioneer
