News & Reviews:   ad-free

It was only yesterday when we reported about WhatsApp potentially launching an ad-free subscription feature. However, that's just the tip of the iceberg, as Meta is reportedly planning to roll out premium subscription options to Facebook and Instagram as well.

Advertising in ChatGPT? This day was always going to happen, but it has not rolled out yet. Today, OpenAI has published its official approach to introducing advertising within ChatGPT. According to the company’s announcement, ads will begin rolling out as tests in the United States for users on the free and new ChatGPT Go plans, while subscribers on higher-tier paid plans will remain ad-free.

X (formerly Twitter) has been working hard on monetising its platform since Elon Musk took over. Earlier this week, Musk announced that a cheaper subscription tier would be available soon. That happened earlier today, as the company announced two new subscription plans.

If you are an avid user of Instagram and Facebook, this news might excite you.  Meta is considering an ad-free plan for these apps soon. That said, what should you know about it?

If you have a lot of apps that come with ads, you'll either find them annoying or get used to them. But Google launched a service last year that will allow you to use most of these apps without having to see all those ads in them! Google has extended the trial period of its Google Play Pass service now, so you can use it more before deciding whether to subscribe.
