The Head of Whatsapp at Meta, Will Cathcart, has debunked reports that a massive change is coming for the popular messaging app.
Users feared for the worst after the Financial Times published an article claiming that teams at Meta have been 'discussing whether to show ads in Whatsapp for the first time'.
Cathcart quickly shut down the theory, tweeting 'This @FT story is false. We aren't doing this'.
Jokingly adding 'Also it looks like you misspelled Brian's name,' referring to Brian Acton, co-founder of Whatsapp.
The Financial Times later amended the article, writing 'This article has been updated to incorporate Cathcart's comments and to correct the spelling of Brian Acton's name'.
