Get discovered on WhatsApp

Help people discover your business

Over 1.5 billion users visit the Updates tab every day to get Status updates or view Channels from people and organizations they care about. Make it easier for people to start a conversation with your business or find and follow your channel by advertising on WhatsApp, so you can build relationships and grow.

Ads in Status

People and businesses use Status to share photos, videos, voice notes and text with their mutual contacts that last 24 hours.

By showing ads in Status, you can help your business get discovered by new customers and make it easy for them to start a conversation with you, all within WhatsApp.

People use Channels to get one-way broadcasts such as texts, photos, videos, stickers and polls from their favorite people, brands and organizations.

Promoted channel ads help your business get discovered by boosting your channel in the directory and making it easy for people to find content that’s right for them.

Ads in the right place

Our ads will appear in Status and Channels, where people are open to discovery. The personal messaging experience on WhatsApp isn’t changing, and personal messages, calls and statuses are end-to-end encrypted and cannot be used to show ads.
