Takeaways
- We’re introducing channel subscriptions, promoted channels and ads in Status in the WhatsApp Updates tab to help you find channels and products you’re interested in.
- The growing popularity of the Updates tab makes this the right place for these experiences, in a way that doesn’t interrupt your chats.
- Nothing changes about people’s personal chats, which remain end-to-end encrypted and are not used for ads.
I really want to but then ill have zero online friends and like 2 irl friends left 😔 people like what they are conditioned to like and will not change.
I got three out of five friends in a chat to leave Messenger for Signal. Pretty happy about that yield.
I slow down my conversation with the Messenger friends and let them know the rest of us are talking on Signal, maybe they’ll just hook up again sometime.
