WhatsApp’s new privacy policy has updated, and some changes are showing in their privacy policy. WhatsApp users would not accept their new policy. Users are stick with privacy issues and they are right.

Facebook acquired WhatsApp back in 2014, the messaging app WhatsApp released a new privacy policy a few years later in 2016, that said from now on it will connect your phone number with Facebook’s system, so that Facebook can offer better friend suggestions and show you more relevant ads.

This means WhatsApp has already been sharing some of the information with its parent company Facebook. And now its latest 2021 privacy policy update, they want to share more data with Facebook that will include WhatsApp payment and personal data.

Here Question Is that Why We Share The Data With WhatsApp?

Exactly, why we share the data with WhatsApp and after they are our data with their parent company Facebook. Cause if they are want to improve their services and they know about my test. As I say about to they are connecting those of the data and make money on it.

In general, when we talk about the simple messaging app that has only work to manage their user’s data safe and secure and end-to-end encryption. I think WhatsApp says to us their service is not free. How can we use their services free of cost? In fact, WhatsApp changes nothing for it.

Now they are thinking, users, share personal data with WhatsApp, and parent company Facebook use these data, to provide valuable ads. I say to WhatsApp users are not products, they are customers if you don’t serve better. Customers are the king always remember. They apricate WhatsApp then they can destroy.

Anyone is posted a WhatsApp privacy policy, they don’t suitable with the policy. In fact, some users share the screenshots with WhatsApp, Telegram, and Signal. We can see in this screenshot how many types of permission for WhatsApp, Telegram, and Signal.

This is a messaging app and may I think that this has no need for another permission, so why they need more and more permissions. I’ll share with you our ITR and bank details and many personal details identity cards, driving licenses. Why you are not having these. come on announce that please link your identity proof and driving license attach with that. WhatsApp is just a messaging platform so why we share personal details. But why you are collecting the details, you have any special interest to collect user data, even you say you can’t share the data with the parent company Facebook so why are you collect our data. This makes no sense, totally senseless.

If we don’t accept WhatsApp’s new privacy policy?

We hear many questions about the WhatsApp Privacy Policy I’ll clearly to presenting them. What happens if you wouldn’t accept the privacy policy. Can we use WhatsApp, video, and voice call someone? As like that many questions grow in mind. Let’s clarify these questions.

Force to accept the privacy policy

WhatsApp will force you to accept their privacy policy and send reminders again and aging until you when you don’t accept. WhatsApp sends reminders rapidly to allow their policy.

Don’t read and send messages

You won’t be allowed to read and send messages but you can get voice and video calls. It will be not stopped while you don’t accept their policy, they just hide the chat panel and don’t get any notifications for WhatsApp.

Every single time they are forcing to allow policy. And WhatsApp will stop sending voice and video call notifications and any message notifications.

Delete account

Some rumors say that WhatsApp will delete their account if they are inactive for 120 days. WhatsApp said to their tweet their they will not delete their account but maybe not accessing the account is like that the delete the account. But here we don’t have the deleted batch. But we temporarily suspend their account as we assume.

WhatsApp Alternative

As we again say to you my friends Telegram and Signal is another best option for me. Even we make an article on it. Telegram and Signal are such great platforms. If you are not to start yet, start today we don’t think tomorrow what’s happening with WhatsApp. These two apps are quite amazing and very perfect. All the feature have those are in WhatsApp even many time it better to WhatsApp.

I think this is perfect for each other. If you are not starting yet. Now you start the messaging all around these platforms. Make new family and friends groups on these platforms.

Ofcourse we need more privacy then these are the best. F*ck up WhatsApp and their privacy policy.
