Ads in WhatsApp Status and Channels

Copy link

If you’re only using WhatsApp for personal messaging, you won’t see ads. Ads will only appear in the Updates tab, in Status and Channels, separate from your personal chats and calls.

Ads in WhatsApp Status and Channels are rolling out gradually and may not be available to you yet.
