WhatsApp removed language stating it has no intention to introduce ads in Status and Channels, replacing it with a more conditional statement that reserves the right to introduce ads in the future if the policy is updated. The original terms committed to not adding ads; the updated terms make ad introduction a possibility dependent on future policy changes. This shifts the company's stance from a stated position of no intention to a reserved option.
