The change Facebook wants to impose on WhatsApp's privacy policy has proved to be a nightmare for the company. This has led users to flee this service and look for alternatives where their data is protected.
To stop this change you do not want, WhatsApp ended up pausing the change. Now it seems that everything will be resumed and with the same rules. The news is that there will be even more information about the changes that are underway.
Facebook will resume change in WhatsApp
It was at the beginning of the year that Facebook started alerting users to the change it was going to apply to WhatsApp. In practice, he clearly stated what he was already doing and revealed that he will share his data with other company services, something that users do not want.
Of course, a migration started immediately that took users to compete for apps. We talk about Telegram, Signal, and others, always with the promise of more security, more privacy, and not sharing data. WhatsApp has always denied these differences.
Change in Privacy Policy will happen
WhatsApp ended up pausing this change, but everything now seems to return to its initial form. The new Privacy Policy will really move forward, but with much more information and even more clarity in the process of accepting it.
From what WhatsApp has revealed now, in the coming weeks, notifications will be shown to users. This will give access to all the information, clearer and that users will be able to read more calmly in order to make their decision.
Changes will take place very soon
With this new change, WhatsApp prepares the change that is known to becoming. This was originally scheduled for September 8 and has now been rescheduled for March 15. On that day, in order to use the Facebook service, it is mandatory to agree to the new Privacy Policy.
Even if European users are protected by the GDPR, this will be an important change. Facebook already has access to much of this data, but now everything is clear and with the authorization given by users. Thus, all the migration that has taken place is normal and even expected.
