Coque samsung a5 fairy tail Facebook has given up plans for ads inside WhatsApp coque samsung galaxy-coque iphone 5c bitch-cgknvw

WhatsApp will not be advertisements in status feature, according to a new report.

WhatsApp will not be getting advertisements as Facebook appears to have backed away from the controversial decision, according to a new report in the Wall Street Journal, which is is quoting people familiar with the matter.

It was reported last year that Facebook was getting ready to introduce ads as part of the feature on WhatsApp, similar to how ads are shown in between Instagram Stories, but it looks like that won be happening.

According to the WSJ report, all code built by the team for WhatsApp advertisements has been deleted from the app code and the team disbanded, though the company refused to comment on the same.

The move was always going to be controversial since WhatsApp unlike Facebook and Instagram has largely been an advertisement free platform. WhatsApp founders Jan Koum and Brian Acton had a very famous coque samsung gamaxy a5 2016 anti ads stance, and there is a blog post from them explaining why the messaging app did not sell ads.

The post reads, we sat down to start our own thing together three years ago we wanted to make something that wasn just another ad clearinghouse, and went on to call advertising coque samsung galaxy tab 3 lite sm t110 an insult to the user intelligence and that it was used to collect personal data of coque samsung galaxy j7 2017 disney users.

It notes that advertising is involved you the user are the product, and that WhatsApp was not interested in collecting user data.

But the acquisition by Facebook in 2014 meant coque samsung a6 rhinoshield there was always going to be a cultural clash, given the social media giant empire was built on the basis of selling advertisements, unlike WhatsApp, which wanted to remain ad free.

While ads might not be making their way to WhatsApp for now, Facebook will likely continue to find new ways to monetise the platform. WhatsApp has close to 1.5 billion users coque samsung galaxy grand prime game boy globally, and more than 400 million users in India, which is the biggest market. But revenue continue to elude WhatsApp, and that something Facebook will want to change sooner or later.
