Promoted channels

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.

Our approach

Ads in the right place

Our ads will appear in the Updates tab, 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.

Personal chats stay
private
Personal data stays with WhatsApp
Preferences are easy to control
