Is WhatsApp going to have advertising in the app?

The myth of the arrival of advertising in WhatsApp is something that is very widespread, but luckily, WhatsApp will never add advertising to its application , at least for the moment. One of the rules that WhatsApp has always had is that it does not want advertising in its app, the messaging application that is part of Meta along with apps like Facebook and Instagram, although the latter two do have advertising.

It seems that after an update of the status of the official WhatsApp account in India, it has given some clue of the possible arrival of advertising to the application , but this is not the case, what you can see in the images below is only information about the new functions that we can see in the app.

States and news of the app

Surely you remember the arrival of Instagram Stories, the short videos that came to Instagram to be able to tell what we wanted in 15 seconds. When Instagram added news to the Stories, we could always see some Stories from the official Instagram account in which they showed us the news and functions that came to the app.

This is what may come to WhatsApp, a kind of announcement that will only be published from the official account in which they show us the news that we will have in the next versions of the application , that is, a kind of preview of what we can see when we update the app.

This will be a way of informing users of what we can see in the app , in the case of the screenshots that we have below, we can see that what will arrive will be payments from WhatsApp, one of the novelties that some users as BBVA bank customers can already do in our country.

So, you can be calm, because WhatsApp will not have advertising in the app , it is one of the rules that WhatsApp has always had and for the moment it is maintaining it, hopefully it will not happen as with the rest of the Meta applications, which will They have advertising and sometimes really invasive.
