WhatsApp says it won’t limit functionality if you refuse its privacy policy — for now
WhatsApp’s privacy policy change has drawn a lot of criticism worldwide. The company rolled out its new policy on May 15.
A week prior to that, the Facebook-owned app said that it won’t delete any user’s account if they don’t accept the new policy, but will constantly remind them to accept it. WhatsApp also said at that time that after “several weeks,” if you don’t accept the policy, it will restrict certain core functionality of the platform.
Now, in a new statement, the company has clarified that after speaking with governments and privacy advocates it won’t restrict any functionality, even if you don’t accept the policy for now.
