This nasty WhatsApp update coming, like it or not!
Facebook had acquired WhatsApp for USD 19 billion. The messaging platform, which competes with the likes of WeChat, Viber, Line and Hike, has over 250 million in India -- a key market where it is battling concerns over fake messages on its platform.
WhatsApp Wednesday said it will display advertisements in its 'Status' section to monetise the popular messaging platform that has about 1.5 billion users globally. Image source: Reuters
