"The key change is that WhatsApp will be sharing its lists of users’ phone numbers with Facebook, allowing the company to match up WhatsApp accounts with Facebook ones where users have registered a phone number.

That will give the parent company more data with which to make new friend suggestions and another way to target advertising."

Seems like learning social media ads is huge. Unfortunately, it's all funneled through your main facebook account (lack of control).
What other platforms do you see in the near future? Being an early adopter gives massive leverage.

Can you clarify what you mean by being 'an early adopter'? Facebook ads certainly are not new anymore.

No it's not. I mean that if there was an advertising option in whatsapp, I think it would be completely different compared to the facebook/insta methods.

The article you linked to didn't mention ads coming to Whatsapp, just that Whatsapp is selling user data to Facebook for them to use in Facebook ads. Is there other news that ads are coming to Whatsapp?

Yeah I know. But how is facebook going to monetize whatsapp besides $1/year?
