  • Meta introduces AI-driven ad targeting for businesses on WhatsApp, aiming to increase revenue from the popular chat service.
  • New AI tools will use behaviour on Facebook and Instagram to target messages to customers most likely to engage.
  • WhatsApp adds Brazil’s digital payment method PIX to its payment tool, enhancing its services in the country.

OUR TAKE
For users, WhatsApp’s AI-powered ad targeting may be more of a curse instead of a blessing. That is because they may feel disgusted when their personal data are overused and may therefore grow a dislike to the app that sends the ads, which will harm the app’s image in return.
–Audrey Huang, BTW reporter

Meta has launched AI-driven ad targeting on WhatsApp, a significant shift for the privacy-focused messaging service.

WhatsApp’s AI tools for businesses

Meta has introduced AI-powered ad targeting for businesses on WhatsApp, which marks its change from the service’s initial focus on privacy. The new tools will enable businesses to target messages more effectively by analysing user behaviour on Facebook and Instagram, provided they use the same phone number across platforms.
