WhatsApp to Get Instagram Like Feature Soon; Briefly Explained

The facebook-owned WhatsApp application has been rolling out effective updates to increase the user experience. Therefore the largest messaging application will soon introduce ads on WhatsApp as it was revealed in Facebook Marketing Summit (FMC) 2019.

How WhatsApp ads will work?

The ads will be displayed on WhatsApp status which was introduced a couple of years ago. As we all know WhatsApp status will display images, videos, texts and other multimedia file that a contact uploads.

Likewise, the ads will be displayed on WhatsApp status along with the name of the advertiser but the contact details will not be listed. The user can access to ads by swiping up similar to accessing Instagram stores with links.

Reports say that since WhatsApp is already working on the progress of introducing ads, users can soon expect it on Android and iOS mobiles.

One WABetaInfo conducted a twitter poll a couple of months ago that asked the users if they will “continue to use WhatsApp after the activation of the Status ads feature?”.

The results of the poll revealed that most of the users are not happy with the feature. In fact, some of the users went up to say they will delete WhatsApp if there are ads on the platform.
