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 am fairly close to telling people they can reach me on Signal or just call me. Sick of these ad-ridden and/or privacy nightmare chat apps.

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.

Gosh people need to think for themselves again and not just do whatever the lowest common denominator is doing.

Don’t go cold turkey if that’s what you need to live but damn more people need to stand up and say fuck that noise, if it’s not a business then they have a choice to go somewhere better.
