Facebook has already tried payments before through Messenger, and no one really used it. I don’t really see WhatsApp doing much better.

- skohan 4y agoWhatsApp might succeed because it's less of a kitchen sink. WhatsApp is mainly about private communication. It's an app you feel like you control, where you're not being bombarded by advertising. Somehow payments feel psychologically safer in that context than a social network.
- bobthepanda 4y agoI mean, none of the US messaging-based payment transfer things have really worked. iMessage has no ads and no one uses the payments feature there either
