From what I read in the article they don't want to show ads in Whatsapp, they only want to use your meta data to target FB ads. If your whatsapp number is not on Facebook that shouldn't be an issue..

That works for regular purchases, but not for every company. I recently bought a car and did extensive research prior to the purchase. Basically from the day I bought the car (and stopped searching) they started showing me ads. It's 2

Is it really worth it though? There are so many opportunities to learn online, should a child like that not rather spend time with children at the same age and get the knowledge via online courses/remote learning? Can't imagine th

At least here in the UK SMS' are usually free (or very cheap) but whatsapp is popular since it's very easy to use, allows group chats/voice messages and works well when the connection isn't great. But mostly because it w
