This means no one can read your messages except the recipient, not even the WhatsApp. There’s also no way to check the policy updates and information on the app anywhere. The new privacy policy does not change the end-to-end encryption feature of WhatsApp. If you do not see the pop-up, chances are you have already accepted the new WhatsApp privacy policy.
#WHAT IS WHATSAPP NEW POLICY UPDATE#
That’s the only way you get to accept the newly update ToS, there’s no other option or anything available for now. “By tapping AGREE, you accept the new terms and privacy policy,” WhatsApp shows this banner on the screen. To accept the new privacy policy, users will just need to tap on ‘Agree’ option that appears on the screen when they log into the app. It also sheds light on how WhatsApp uses Facebook hosted services to store and manage chats on the platform. Users will get the policy pop-up on the app home screen. The new policy includes information about WhatsApp's services and how the company process user's data. This means, eventually, each and every WhatsApp user will need to accept the new privacy policy to be able to use all functionalities of the app. The new privacy policy says that WhatsApp can share its user data with ‘Facebook and its families of companies.’ This has raised privacy concerns in the minds of users. In other words, anyone who fails to accept the new terms will eventually lose access most of the key functionalities. The Facebook owned messaging platform further states, a few weeks later, after May 15, these users will stop receiving all calls and messages. For now, we are not sure if WhatsApp will allow these users to make calls to send messages. The new privacy policy does not change the end-to-end encryption feature of WhatsApp. In the limited functionality mode, users will also be able to respond to incoming audio and video calls. WhatsApp says, if such users receive a chat from a contact, they will be able to open it through their notifications and also respond to them. As said before by the company, the WhatsApp account that do not accept the privacy policy will not be deleted anymore. With limited functionalities, we mean, users will not be able to access their chat list. In other words, such users will have access to only limited functionalities. The messaging platform now clarifies that users who do not accept the updated privacy policy will lose most of the key features.
