You May Not Send OR Receive WhatsApp Messages From 15 May 2021.

 



WhatsApp decided to implement its new privacy policies from February 8, 2021, provoking an uproar from users of the instant messaging app.

Many users freaked out about their chats and data being shared with the parent company Facebook. The new policies also resulted in a digital mass-exodus, forcing WhatsApp users to shift to more secure alternatives such as Signal or Telegram.


In light of the uproar, it pushed the dates for accepting the privacy policy to May 15, and reiterated what data it will be taking from its users, assuring them that their private chats with friends and family will still be protected by end-to-end encryption.

“The information we share with the other Facebook Companies includes your account registration information (such as your phone number), transaction data (for example, if you use Facebook Pay or Shops in WhatsApp), service-related information, information on how you interact with businesses when using our Services, mobile device information, your IP address, and may include other information identified in the Privacy Policy section entitled ‘Information We Collect’ or obtained upon notice to you or based on your consent,” WhatsApp said in a statement.


WhatsApp in its FAQs about the new privacy policy has stated that users have until May 15 to accept the new terms and conditions. If they fail to do so, the app will start to limit its features for the users.

  1. I believe that avoiding prepared foods is the first step for you to lose weight. They may taste beneficial, but ready-made foods have very little nutritional value, making you feed on more in order to have enough vitality to get throughout the day. Should you be constantly having these foods, switching to whole grain products and other complex carbohydrates will assist you to have more strength while eating less. Thanks alot : ) for your blog post. teen chat
