A voice note being shared on WhatsApp from one self-acclaimed WhatsApp ambassador in Nigeria,OluwaseunTotopeFunmiBayo, claims that WhatsApp will soon be shut down and people will have to pay to access it.

The claim is FALSE
The audio forwarded several times on Whatsapp was in Yoruba language.

The self-acclaimed ambassador went on to say that appeals are ongoing on behalf of  Nigeria users and that users are expected to send the voice note to 20 persons so as to continue using the app.

First, Whatsapp has no ambassador in Nigeria. The only global ambassador is the Greek-Nigerian basketball player, GiannisAntetokounmpo, the first-ever global ambassador for WhatsApp, the mobile messaging app.

Second, there is no official communication from Whatsapp about shutting down its app or restricting some countries neither has WhatsApp started charging users.

Third, forwarding an audio to several people on WhatsApp will have no positive effect on users account but a waste of data and being a transmitter of fake news.



CONCLUSION
The audio forwarded several times on Whatsapp from a WhatsApp ambassador claiming that Whatsapp is shutting down is FALSE.
