Meta announced that businesses can now use WhatsApp's "Status Ads" to guide users to interact with merchants through the messaging feature. This initiative creates a new communication bridge for businesses on the WhatsApp platform, enriching their marketing channels. WhatsApp has long been known for its privacy protection and pure communication functions, with cautious advertising placements. Allowing businesses to guide user interaction through "Status Ads" is expected to expand the advertising business landscape and increase advertising revenue sources.

Analysts from the well-known American investment bank Piper Sandler raised AMD's target price to $140. On the other hand, there are unconfirmed rumors that AMD achieved a "graphics processor victory" through Amazon Web Services, drawing market attention and prompting investors to increase their stakes.
