Popular instant messaging app WhatsApp's new privacy policy is effective today, May 15. Some users have already accepted the company's new policy. But millions of other users have not yet accepted it.
WhatsApp's new privacy policy has caused a great deal of controversy worldwide. Due to which users in WhatsApp were attracted to other competing apps like Signal, Telegram.
However, in a recent lawsuit filed in the Indian High Court in Delhi, WhatsApp said that its privacy policy is similar to that of many other Internet-based apps.
You may be wondering what happens if you do not accept the policy of WhatsApp. Today we are discussing the same subject here. According to WhatsApp, user accounts that do not accept the new privacy policy will not be deleted.
But those users will be deprived of using some features. Including services such as messages and calls. Earlier, the company had announced that it would delete the account of the user who did not accept the privacy policy.
WhatsApp just said today that any user who does not accept the privacy policy will not have their account deleted. But users who do not accept this controversial policy for weeks will not even see their chat list.
This will eventually block such users' incoming calls, video calls, or replies to WhatsApp. If you do not accept these updates, you will not be able to use all the features of WhatsApp.
However, you will receive calls and notifications for a while. But you will not be able to read the messages coming in the app. And you can't even send a message to anyone from it. So you can accept this policy of WhatsApp even after May 15.
For this, the company will keep reminding you through notification. Regarding the new privacy policy, WhatsApp has stated that such a policy will only be for business accounts.
According to this, only the chat from the business account will be read by WhatsApp and will be shared with its parent company Facebook. But private account chat has nothing to do with the privacy policy.
If you do not want to accept this new policy of WhatsApp, you can export your old chat to your Android or iPhone before 15th May.
You will also get the facility to download the report of your account. If you delete WhatsApp from Android, iPhone, or Kai OS, it cannot be reactivated.
This will delete all your old chats and even remove you from all WhatsApp groups. Also, the backup of WhatsApp on your device will be deleted.
