Apparently, the social network has dissolved the team they created to insert the ads into the messaging app. Also, this work has been removed from the app source code.

Goodbye to ads

Facebook's decision to insert these ads into the messaging app has been controversial from the start. In fact, it is one of the reasons why Brian Acton, co-founder of WhatsApp, made the decision to leave the company. Since he did not agree with this decision of the firm to introduce ads in the popular application.

It is not known very well what has been the main reason why the social network has changed plans. These announcements were expected to become official in 2020, but the reality will be different, at least according to this information.
