WhatsApp
will switch off or be in inactive state users that will not comply or agree to
its new terms or privacy terms until May 15,2021 and will be eventually
removed. Their account on WhatsApp will not work then like sending and
receiving messages until they agree to the new terms.
“WhatsApp has recently detailed what
exactly will happen to users who disagree to its privacy changes. Earlier last
week, the Facebook-owned messaging app stated it will allow users time to
review WhatsApp’s planned privacy updates all “at their own pace”. WhatsApp has
said that users will see a banner displayed at the top of the app, which is
expected to explain the new privacy terms and changes. WhatsApp claims that it
will “slowly ask” users to agree to the new terms “in order to have full
functionality of WhatsApp”. However, for those who choose not to comply with
the terms by May 15, “these users will be able to receive calls and
notifications, but will not be able to read or send messages from the app.” The
“short time” span supposedly gives users a few weeks to decide but the account
may be deleted since one of WhatsApp’s policies for inactive users gives the
company the right to delete the account after 120 days of inactivity.”(Showcel

“The new privacy policy outlines that messages
between individual accounts on WhatsApp will still be end-to-end encrypted but,
messages sent to businesses may be stored on Facebook servers and utilized for
advertising data. Additionally, the new terms would allow Facebook and WhatsApp
to share transaction and payment data in order to broaden e-commerce offerings
and better target ads.”(Showcel News)
The main point : WhatsApp will switch off messaging
for users who do not comply or agree to their new privacy terms and will be put
into inactive list until May 15,2021 and will be removed because of inactivity.
