Monetization: Understand where and how advertisements will be seen from WhatsApp

News India Live, Digital Desk: Monetization: So friends, if you think that whatsapp will always be free and no advertisement will be found in it, now you have to know a little shocking update! Yes, the world’s biggest messaging app, Whatsapp, is now opening a new way of earnings. There are reports that Meta (the company that has platforms like WhatsApp, Facebook and Instagram) is preparing to show advertisements on WhatsApp.

The first question will come to your mind, “Will my personal chats or group chats be seen now?” Don’t panic! According to reports and statements of Meta officials, the places of your personal conversation will not be filled with advertisements. The company does not want to spoil your privacy and messaging experience, at least not in the beginning.

Then where will the advertisement look like?

Meta has chosen two sections of Whatsapp to earn money, where you can see advertisements in future:

1. Whatsapp status (status): Yes, till now you have seen the status of your friends and family, in the same way you will also start seeing small advertisements of companies and brands. Just like you see advertisements while watching Instagram or Facebook stories, some experiences can be found here too.

2. Whatsapp channels (channels): This is the new feature of Whatsapp, which is becoming quite popular. In this, big brands, media houses, celebrities and organizations provide information or updates to their followers. Meta is also going to make it a big source of earning. The channels can also show advertisements in the middle or related advertisements. Some top officials of Meta, such as WhatsApp head Will Cathcart and Meta’s Chief Business Officer Tom Cook, have already indicated that they are working towards monetizing Whatsapp better, especially through features such as status and channels.

Whatsapp was free from the beginning and that was its USP. However, any such big company has to earn money to maintain its operation and to give new features continuously. In such a situation, the advertisement is the most direct and effective method. Even though we find this change a bit strange, it is becoming a part of today’s digital world. It has to be seen how much these advertisements affect the user experience!
