Would you mind ads in WhatsApp as long as they’re not in your inbox?

The day that happens I can hopefully uninstall this thing already. Most of my friends use it, they’re really big here in Europe. Pretty hard to move to another app.

I use iMessage to text my close friends. But I live in a country where WhatsApp is a verb.

So I do end up using WhatsApp and in my experience, it’s already riddled with ads

I don’t see how it can be any worse tbh. Instagram ads are way better imo.

If that doesn’t convince your friends, nothing will.
