In May 2019 allegations of a good portion of the world's most used service users were confirmed: Facebook was on hand to introduce advertising to WhatsApp, in much the same way as it has previously done on Instagram and its social network, with the aim of generating economic revenue from its most popular messaging platform.
However, Looks like this kind of argument won't happen right now. As mentioned The Wall Street Journal, Facebook would have decided to pause launching advertising on WhatsApp, and completing a task force that was set up to find a great way to display ads in the messaging app.
The WhatsApp code no longer includes the promotional platform trace
In the meantime, The exact reasons are not yet known
According to the article available online, WhatsApp will focus on helping businesses communicate with customers, setting aside the status of adverts (temporarily!).
In fact, since the Android version 2.19.356 beta, there is no code about ads for the status.Thank you @JohannesLenz for reporting! https://t.co/hoZIuTDX8T

Does that mean WhatsApp will never include advertising? I'm afraid it's not time to sing a victory right now. Sources close to the company reveal that Facebook still has the idea of introducing ads to HelloApp States
In short, for now it will happen continue to enjoy WhatsApp without advertising. That doesn't mean that WhatsApp will be converted into an app payment, at least when we look at Mark Zuckerberg's latest statements. But don't expect Facebook to lose its chance of blurring the app used by more than 1,500 million people at the time that cost around $ 20,000.
