Lazy and ungrateful people everywhere. Like u people are paying for the service u r enjoying. If u don't like it, don't use it and move on to another platform. Same way some people have been crying that YouTube advert is too much.
If they don't do advert, how do u expect them to balance their running costs.
U will just come online and be shouting mining data. Which data u get wey person wan mine. Rubbish up and down. smiley

more data draining added to its features again.
I know whatsapp ads will be compulsory except you pay for premium.
This was the reason the original owners left some months ago because it was against the contract signed.

Telegram security - far better than whatsapp
you don't need to give out your personal number to add some on telegram (username solves it), that's what I loved about BBM then.
Sending larger files + telegram acts like a cloud system you save chats, links, apps, files in your telegram (cloud) and download anytime / device you like later

It's about time lol.

They've also introduced WhatsApp Stickers in the latest update.


Nigerian Graphics Designers, it time to make money oooo. Create WhatsApp Stickers Nigerians can relate to and sell on play store for ₦100. (imagine having 1million downloads) shocked

Just like BBM ...just that WhatsApp is a bigger market.

I love that idea of creating whatsapp stickers which Nigerians can relate with.

But please Where can I find the stickers on my whatsapp??

People are funny! We've been using this service for free and they just want some compensation for their work and we are complaining? I'm sure those talking against this don't know how difficult it is to write a line of code. Smh. And a lot of us spend half of our time on WhatsApp anyway. If they ask us to pay a monthly subscription, I will pay. It's an extremely useful app.

Do you ever solicit for ads?

Y'all should close your mouth or open your own real time messenger app and use it with your friends, you think it's easy to run such a massive app and maintain it? if you had read a littler ealier, Koum and his co founder were about dumping the app or somehow sell it cos they're not able to maintain it financially despite a couple people were paying $1 yearly then. Now nobody pays, hwo then would they run the system and business? any business that isn't able to fend for it's self is bad business and waste of time and money.

If you want to know hoe this goes, go open a site and run it for years maintaining it and all that without ads or anyother form monetization, then your opinion would change

For me they can introduce ads but not make it intrusive

exactly!
Even me then was about paying the $1 fee then just that before it's time for renewal they automatically renew it so I don't get opportunity to show appreciation.

I don't think it's available for Global users yet. But they can see it if Beta Testers send to them.

It's beside the "GIF" and Emoji tab

Many people thought Status won't make sense on WhatsApp, guess what? Many people use it to advertise their products while some people are a nuisance on it. But last last, everybody has gotten used to it. Same thing would happen to with he Ads.

I am surprised that some people are complay aboit adding ads to whatsapp. It's a business and they are looking for profits. I only hope the ads won't be too much.

I won't stop using whatsapp.

Well if businesses like banks, loan companies, law enforcement and even big agencies can incorporate WhatsApp into their services then I see no reason why the original creatoe shouldn't make profit off it too. Js
