It has a feed now full of podcasters and tiktokers, the web version offers me to buy ads for the feed right in the front of the messages, every time I open it, disgusting
I don't see that. There's no feed anywhere as far as I can tell. I just see my chats. I didn't create any communities or join any channels. Is that where you see a feed?
It's in the second tab, where stories are. Stories used to stay open, so you could easily see the ones you already watched. Now they disappear into a watched drawer that is by default closed. They need the space to show you channels, like the one of the owner Sugar mountain or random tiktokers.
Are you sure you're talking about WhatsApp? I don't see stories anywhere. Never saw anything like that. Maybe you're talking about Snapchat or Instagram or something else?
At least for me on android there are 4 Tabs. Community's, chats, ~~current~~ updates, calls.
Edit: I checked the translation.
I have community, chat, updates, calls. None of them have anything related to stories or feeds.
Wrong translation on my side. Check the updates tab. On more recent versions you've got the "Status", those are the stories people are talking about. Below that are the channels of influencers and other people I don't care about.
