WhatsApp has promised not to disable users who have not adopted the new privacy rules, but may impose restrictions
Messenger WhatsApp said it would not disable users who do not want to accept the new privacy rules of the service. True, in the future, dissenters may face limitations in the functionality of the platform. Writes about this CNET.
The new WhatsApp rules go into effect on May 15, but the company will give users more time to consent. In a few weeks, the service will begin regularly sending users notifications reminding them of the changes.
Most have adopted the new privacy rules, according to WhatsApp representatives. If others disagree, they may face limited functionality in the future. What exactly this will affect is not specified.
WhatsApp announced the changes to its policy in January 2021. Thanks to them, the service will be able to exchange data with the social network Facebook. Because of this, the service was criticized by users, among whom was Elon Musk. Against the backdrop of the scandal among users, the popularity of competitors – Telegram and Signal – has grown.
