Facebook confirmed the news this week
If you've been using WhatsApp to chat with family and friends and enjoyed the ad-free experience, well that's all about to change.
Facebook has confirmed the messaging app will feature ads at its annual Marketing Summit in the Netherlands.
They say it would work similarly to how ads appear on Instagram Stories, with a 'swipe up' function if users want to find out more about them.
Businesses would be able to interact with WhatsApp users where notifications would appear on the top of the users feed.
Some WhatsApp users have said they're annoyed by the move after the original founder of WhatsApp had promised to keep the platform ad-free!
