WhatsApp will not delete your account even if you don’t accept new privacy policy by May 15

The Facebook-owned messaging app had earlier made it mandatory for all users to accept the new policies by May 15 to continue using the services.

After much hullabaloo, WhatsApp has scrapped the idea of forcing its users to accept the new privacy policy by May 15. The Facebook-owned messaging app had earlier made it mandatory for all users to accept the new policies by May 15 to continue using the services. However, as per the latest reports, the company will no longer ask its users to accept it, and not accepting the policies will not lead to the deletion of accounts. WhatsApp has been at the receiving end of users ever since it had introduced the new privacy policies. A WhatsApp spokesperson had said in a statement that no user will lose access to their WhatsApp account even if they do not accept the new terms and policies after the May 15 deadline.
