    Ads where? On Facebook, Oh WOW so I'll get better ads instead of an add for KITCHEN WARE I'll get an add about CANNABIS OIL wow what a tragedy! Lol

    I don't even notice ads anyway, or spam, just ignore it or unsubscribe, hardly use Facebook and the like much less to make it bother me

    All I'm saying is thus whatsapp Facebook thing is really nothing to worry about....

    Still not making sense to me

    Are you saying that whatsapp is forcing you to add a # to your Facebook account, or integrate the tow together? That makes no sense

    The idiots that have your #? I'm in full control of who has my #, and if I don't I simply ignore or block

    Whatsapp gives Facebook your number you have no control over that. Then people will you by your number.

    I tuned the option off to share... once off you can't turn it on back again. Lol

    If they not reading your chats how they know what to show you to improve ads and experience? Are they looking at your DP to determine that????

    so they'll be giving companies my # to spam me? How? If not in whatsapp, surely not sms


    So it's as I said, just on stupid Facebook, so you'll be getting more ads and suggestions or whatever better suited to you, smh, SO WHAT

    Yet they say they use end to end encryption and only the sender and recipient can see it.

    Correct me if I'm wrong... I was reading the policy before I agree to the update of whatsapp and I remember seeing where the messages are stored on the server before sending to recipient and afterwards it's deleted from server. Could it be that the messages are then read during that time, advertising key words are then pointed out and after the message is delivered then it's deleted calling it end to end encryption with a server/not in the middle

    Later this year you won't have a choice to share. Your number will be shared as long as you use whatsapp.
