Abeg lemme go and compile my own private chat application, if you need to chat with me you can chat me up on my website.

Who send them?

How do you want WhatsApp to pay developers and servers?

JeffreyJames:


Before nko?.

Is business not about making money.

but WhatsApp won't make sense if ads is included. Cos it will be so annoying. Why Zuckerberg

uriris:
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.

Are you ok? Nha free I deh get data abi

QueenBelle:
all this is to the detriment of our hard earned data

falcon01:
after years of WhatsApp, it's time to move on.

telegram is way better than it sef

How do they keep it running?

The nonsense they are doing with facebook now that makes it boring.

lohresloco:

been on it since 2013.

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

JeffreyJames:
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)

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??

then we won't update to that version, and if updated by mistake,then download the previous version

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.

Its a business, they have the right to make profit.

for your largest low-voltage electrical equipment such as ABB, SCHNEIDER Electric, LEGRAND Electrical equipments in Nigeria, view my signature. Tnx

No problem, GBWhatsapp would surely find a way to remove the ad.

Hahaha, Baba haf vex ooo.

On the status tab. Thank God say i no dey even go near there. My status has been thesame since time immemorial

ChimuchiYola:

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.

Guy you're spot on.. if people dey cry "Data Mining" Nigerians sef go dey draw voice lol. Which data una get wey them wan mine.

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.

MICHEALADEX:


Are you ok? Nha free I deh get data abi

You dey pay WhatsApp with your data?

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

So all the "why we don't show ads" was a scam

BarryX:
The business end of WhatsApp is gradually coming out. Actually, WhatsApp is about the only sane App out there, Adding Ads though

Whatsapp is one of the sans app out there

Nothing annoys me more than an unsolicited add

What do you want telegram to add?
