1. What Is The New Decision Of WhatsApp?
The company wrote on its blog, "We want to make sure that you have full time to read and accept these terms, so we have extended the date." This means that no account will be suspended or deleted on February 8. We will take a number of steps to eliminate misinformation about the privacy and security of WhatsApp. We will then ask people to renew the policy and they will be given full time for this. Business options will be available from May 15.
2. How Will Extending The Policy Date Benefit The Users?
Many users did not agree with the company's new policy. In such a situation, there was a risk that his account would be closed on February 8, but now that fear has been averted, meaning that the WhatsApp account will remain open till May 14, even without a policy advance. Users will no longer need to give permission to share their data with the company.
3. What Will Happen To The Users Who Have Already Signed The Policy?
The new policy will also apply to such users from May 15. The date extended by the company is applicable to all users, i.e. those who have applied for the policy and will apply now.
