WhatsApp is now adding ads.

Meta has announced that ads are coming to WhatsApp for the first time. These will appear in the "Updates" tab where users view Status and Channels, not in personal chats.

📌 What You Need to Know

  • Ads will show in the Updates section only, not in private messages or group chats

  • Targeting will use general info like location, language, and channel activity

  • Meta will allow promoted channels and optional channel subscriptions

  • Over 1.5 billion users view Updates daily, offering huge ad reach

  • Meta stock rose after the news, showing investor optimism

  • Privacy experts raise concerns about Meta’s data usage practices

📎 Why This Matters

Apple Stuck in iCloud Court Fight

Apple Stuck in iCloud Court Fight

A court in California has rejected Apple’s bid to dismiss a proposed class‑action lawsuit accusing it of monopolizing cloud storage by compelling iPhone users to backup key data on iCloud.

📌 What You Need to Know

  • The revised complaint now includes detailed allegations sufficient to proceed

  • Judge Eumi Lee ruled Apple must face the suit, reviving the case after early dismissal

  • Plaintiffs allege Apple keeps users tied to iCloud by blocking third‑party services from accessing core backup data

  • The lawsuit targets Apple’s restrictions on backing up device settings and app data - not just photos and videos

  • Plaintiffs aim to represent tens of millions of U.S. consumers who bought iCloud storage plans

  • Apple defends its policy as a security feature, while plaintiffs say it harms competition

📎 Why This Matters
This decision puts Apple’s cloud storage practices under scrutiny and could reshape how users back up and restore iPhones - potentially opening the door for third-party services.
