What a great publicity stunt.. get someone to start a rumor so everyone talks about it, then deny it. Surge of new users, here they go!
And? What has to do with the claim that it will have ads?
Like Apple having every iphone users number?
WHERE IS MY TIN HAT!
You could do even better - get it for free from Google and still use it without ads (because despite quite common misconceptions on Apple-centric forums, Google services like Google Voice etc. do not have any adds).
Never heard google calling people to talk about ads

Seriously, some people have no idea how free really is a free app!!

How naive!! Why would Google call you?
Google clients on the other hand won't hesitate to talk to you about their latest products.

Right...
Now Apple makes money from hardware and software products.
Tell me genius, how does Google make money?
Yeah... thought so.
Yeah never heard of a google "client" calling, maybe you should try to get a nice hat to cool a bit ?
iAds ?
Ahhh... so Apple makes money from iAds? How could I possibly not known that Apple is an advertising company!! And yes, if a Google client calls or spam you with messages they are going to introduce themselves as Google clients. Seriously.....![]()
Ahhh.... iAds is a fun project ?

It's an advertising platform for app developers/third party apps and Apple takes 30-40% from it. You are not telling me that Apple is breathing the $ air from it? I think Apple makes money from advertising just as much as Google makes money from selling hardware.
Anyway.... the naivety of some people in this forum amazes me. How can anyone think that Google would pay 1 billion $ for an app and not get something on return?? Really?
Ummm actually that is exactly the way you and others sound, as if whatsapp is the only messaging app that matters and everyone else is ignorant for not using it..Between the two methods I use and the way I use them, I have no issues texting both my android and iphone friends. Eh hello I nor anyone I know ever heard of this app, OBVIOUSLY we are able to text each other perfectly fine without it. For me and those who I communicate with theres simply no need for this app thats all I'm saying.
