WhatsApp has postponed the implementation of the new privacy policy for 3 months, explaining that the accounts of users who have not yet approved will not be deleted on February 8.
All processors, including WhatsApp, have a privacy policy regarding users’ right to privacy. WhatsApp’s modification of privacy policy for commercial purposes has drawn strong criticism.
Millions have switched to telegram and signal processors due to widespread reports of threats to their privacy. But WhatsApp’s explanation that users’ personal details will be properly protected and that neither WhatsApp nor Facebook will have access to them has been of great use.
Following this, WhatsApp, which had announced that the privacy policy changes would take effect from February 8, has postponed it for another 3 months.
WhatsApp, which had previously warned that the new terms and conditions would have to be accepted or the account would be deleted by February 8, has also withdrawn that announcement.
WhatsApp has announced that the new features for WhatsApp business accounts will be available until May 15, when users will be made aware of their privacy and security.
