Facebook's purchase of whatsapp has raised many doubts. The annual subscription process has been closed for more than five years, but since then rumors have begun to appear, indicating a major change in the way the application works.
Since the establishment of whatsapp, one payment per year has been chosen for less than one euro so that users can enjoy the application without worrying about the possibility of using ads, a policy that eventually ended up being eliminated, with annual payments being "mandatory" and today This app is completely free.
At the end of last year, we saw the first information that suggests that Facebook intends to introduce advertising system in the application. It was not just rumors, Chris Daniels himself, and Vice-President of Watsab, the source of the news, so his reliability was indisputable.
We knew that the famous instant messaging app would begin serving ads in 2019, but we did not know how it would be implemented. This is an important problem, because there are different sections in the wattabab so Facebook has many options when it comes to merging ads.
Today, thanks to the diversion of "Matt Navarra", we have become more prominent place ads in the application. Fortunately, ads will not appear in chats, only appear in user instances, as we can see in the Twitter photos that we attach to the end of the article.

This source also leaves us another important fact, that whatsapp will not start showing ads in 2019, but in 2020. We do not know the reason for this delay, but it may be related to technical problems, or that Facebook simply wanted to wait a little more than the margin of controversy Which has recently taken place and the criticisms of the company.
The bottom line is that leaving chats free of ads is necessary so that the app continues to provide a good user experience, as well as to avoid potential users' escape to other applications such as Teligram, for example.
