WhatsApp's new policy will not allow users to send messages or make calls unless they accept it
WhatsApp has over 200 million users worldwide
If the company does not accept the policy, their account will be deleted, the company said
Messaging app WhatsApp's new policy has been under discussion since February this year. There was strong opposition when WhatsApp first introduced a privacy policy. The company then avoided the policy, but the company again wrote in its blog that, we are changing our service and privacy. The change is related to WhatsApp messaging between the business and our customer, the company said on May 15. WhatsApp has over 200 million users worldwide.
If the company does not accept the policy, their account will be deleted, the company said. However, the company has not deleted any account yet, but users will not get the service of many features of WhatsApp.
Change in data privacy policy
According to WhatsApp's blog, business can now be alerted on WhatsApp. Whether or not to take the business chat option is up to the users. You can block the business from your contact list if you wish. You can interact with the customer on a large platform with the help of a business account. Their questions will also be answered soon.
The company said that the private data of the users is very secure. WhatsApp is constantly asking users to accept the policy. For this he is also sending alerts on the app.
Message and call feature service discontinued
Users who do not accept the policy will not be able to view the alert list, but will be able to answer missed calls and video calls. The company may ban the WhatsApp messaging and calling feature after about a week.
Chat history can be kept in mobile
Users can keep chat history in the phone if they do not want to accept the new policy. Once the account is deleted, users will be removed from each group. They cannot delete message history. Their WhatsApp backup data will also be deleted.
Changed the policy for business chat
The company said in October last year that WhatsApp wants to make shopping easier for people. People will be able to make direct purchases using the app. Most people use it to chat with family and friends. It will also boost his business.
WhatsApp head Will Cathart said on social media that the company has updated to bring transparency to its policy and provide information on optional features of People to Business. It needs to be clarified that the update has been made to provide business related information. This will not affect our policy of sharing data with Facebook.
Why worry about WhatsApp's new policy?
WhatsApp has made it clear in its new policy that users must share their privacy with the company. This means that WhatsApp will now be able to monitor and access all your data. It will not protect your privacy. The number of WhatsApp users in India is over 400 million. This means the company will be able to access all the data like your expenses, IP address, location, status content, calls after the policy is forwarded.
