WhatsApp privacy policy goes into effect this week: What happens to your account if you do not accept it

WhatsApp's new privacy policy will come into effect from May 15. WhatsApp has clarified that no account will be deleted for not accepting the updated policy.

WhatsApp in the early days of January 2021 sent out a pop-up notification to all its users in which they enlightened them about their new changes to the privacy policy policies. One of the statements read that WhatsApp will now be sharing its user data with its main application, Facebook and that WhatsApp headquarters will have access to your data, and a lot of people condemned this claiming that it was a breach of privacy. As a result, many users looked for alternative messaging applications and flocked to Signal or Telegram.
