WhatsApp Spyware: Infected Phone Calls are Take Over Smartphones!
From this sneak peek, we can tell that the ad will eventually cover the entire screen just like a WhatsApp Status does. Instead of a contact name, the company/brand name is displayed. When swiped up, more information about the product or service is shown.
WhatsApp has confirmed that ads were coming to the platform approximately over a month ago. It was expected that the application will eventually be introducing ads, however, it comes as a surprise how it was not introduced earlier for both iOS and Android.
