Whatsapp is one of the most popular apps in the world as of now and it aims to reach more and more people in the coming months. There are unconfirmed reports doing the rounds in tech circles that Facebook-owned company will soon be introducing ads on its platform.

The changes could also allow advertisers to feed lists of phone numbers into Facebook’s advertising system, known as custom audiences, and find new people to target with ads.
