WhatsApp has postponed privacy update plan Amd rising concerns.
Washington [US], Jan 16 (ANI): WhatsApp on Friday 15/01/2021 (local time) announced that Whatsapp has postponed its planned privacy update, which will give users more time to review the privacy policy and accept the terms of the Facebook owned Whatsapp.
The decision to postpone the privacy update has been taken due to "misconception causing concern" among people, the company said.
"We're now moving back the date on which people will be asked to review and accept the terms and conditions. No one will have their account suspended, deleted on February 8. We're also going to do a lot more to clear up the misinformation around how privacy policy and security works on WhatsApp Messenger. We'll then go to people gradually to review the policy at their own pace before new business options are available on May 15 2021,".
The concerns resulted in people switching to other messaging services such as imo signal and Telegram. This week, Signal became the No. 1 app in India, one of WhatsApp's biggest markets, on Apple and Android phones, the NYT said.
Reassuring people on these concerns, the company said, "the update includes new options people will have to msg a business on WhatsApp, and provides further transparency about how we collect and use data. While not everyone shops with a business on WhatsApp today, we think that more people will choose to do so in the future and it's important people are aware of these services. This update does not expand our ability to share data with Facebook or anything else." (ANI)
