WhatsApp announced its decision to delay the implementation of its new privacy policy till May 15, 2021. The company has admitted that the new policy has created a lot of confusion, and there has been a lot of misinformation about the changes as well. The company has promised not to delete any user accounts on February 8.
“We want to be clear that the policy update does not affect the privacy of your messages with friends or family in any way,” the company said. “Instead, this update includes changes related to messaging a business on WhatsApp, which is optional, and provides further transparency about how we collect and use data.”
WhatsApp had also clarified last week that its changes were focused on how businesses used the app.
