Since the beginning of this week, WhatsApp has begun changing its privacy policy and has begun sending notifications within the app, changing the terms and conditions for using the application and the privacy policy.
WhatsApp's new rules and privacy policy will take effect on February 8, 2021, and users will have to accept them, otherwise, their accounts will be deleted.
The notification sent by the company stated that WhatsApp is updating its terms and conditions and privacy policy.
The notification includes key updates that will increase the company's authority over user data and allow businesses to store and manage WhatsApp chats using Facebook's services.
Facebook will be able to connect WhatsApp to its other services.
Users who have been using the WhatsApp for years now have to agree to these terms and conditions by February 8, 2021 to continue using the application.
However, most of the users are angry over this change of WhatsApp and they are also expressing their anger on the social networking website Twitter.
Twitter user Silvadorai wrote that WhatsApp's new privacy policy changes allow them to collect 'messaging, calling, status, groups (including group name, group description) payments or business features, profile photos,' about 'information and last scenes.
