After facing all the backlash, WhatsApp decided to push the rollout of the policy by three months. During this period, the company tried to educate the users about the policy and explained to them that WhatsApp cannot read their private conversations as the chats are end-to-end encrypted.
The company also said that things will remain the same for the normal users only the changes will apply if they interact with businesses on WhatsApp.
Now, the new WhatsApp privacy policy will come to effect next week on May 15. Wondering what will happen to your WhatsApp account if you don’t accept the terms?
The instant messaging app earlier said that your WhatsApp account will be deleted if you will not accept the new policy. However, it has now confirmed that it will not delete your WhatsApp account. Instead of that users will not have full functionality of WhatsApp until they accept the terms of service.
Users will be able to receive calls and notifications, but will not be able to send or read messages. But this will be done for a short time. However, the company has not specified how much is that short time.
Recently, an online report revealed that WhatsApp is working on a new feature that will enable seamless transfer of chat history between Android and iOS devices. As per WaBetaInfo, the update reveals that WhatsApp is starting to develop the same feature on Android. For those unaware, WaBetaInfo keeps track of the latest and upcoming WhatsApp features.
