WhatsApp, with its 2.8 billion users, is facing backlash after announcing the introduction of advertisements, which many users perceive as a negative shift. Critics have taken to social media, expressing their discontent and considering alternatives like Telegram. While Meta assures that ads will not disrupt personal chats and will appear only in the ephemeral WhatsApp Status feature, experts fear this could lead to more intrusive advertising in the future, mirroring Facebook's advertising trends. Users are calling this move one of Meta's worst ideas, signaling potential revenue loss for the company as they consider leaving the platform.
Meta's announced introduction of adverts to WhatsApp has sparked outrage among its 2.8 billion users, prompting calls for users to consider switching to competitors like Telegram.
Despite claims that ads will not interrupt chats, analysts predict that WhatsApp will eventually follow the trend set by Facebook and incorporate more prevalent ads, adversely affecting user experience.
