WhatsApp: Users "forced" to accept new privacy rules | Flash News




Users will have until February 8, 2021 to validate the new terms of use, otherwise they will no longer be able to use the app


Take it or leave it. In early 2021, WhatsApp will change the terms of use of its services, including the way the app processes users' personal data.


They will therefore soon have to validate the new "conditions and updates of the privacy policy." If they refuse, WhatsApp's services will no longer be accessible to them, reveals The Independent relayed by Fredzone.


WhatsApp doesn't take any tweezers. "By pressing I Accept, you accept the new conditions that will come into effect on February 8, 2021," the messagingplatform says. After that date, you will have to accept the new conditions to continue using WhatsApp or you will still be able to delete your account.


Contacted by The Independent, WhatsApp confirmed the imperative to validate these new conditions. Facebook's subsidiary did not comment further on changes to users' personal data.



What's new for businesses


The next update to the app will also boost trade and make it easier for users to connect with a product. WhatsApp already warned last October that the app would "allow customers to view available products and make purchases directly from a discussion."


With this update, businesses will be able to manage messages sent by customers via WhatsApp from Facebook hosting services. The application will of course charge these different services to businesses.
