It is a very popular mobile application. With millions and millions of downloads worldwide, WhatsApp is a very popular messaging app with they reach 2 billion users and all this despite the fact that other apps like the Telegraph are in our opinion, much safer and more complete.
What does this mean? That WhatsApp, over the last few years managed by Facebook and Mark Zuckerberg, handles millions of personal information from users across the planet every day. Millions of private information that passes through your servers unless we really know your end. Of course WhatsApp means that they don't store any more information, moreover, on their website they can see it what information they store and process with all the information they collect

We all know WhatsApp is not the safest messaging app and yet we still use it. Although we can't resist the attempt by developers to create a private platform, the facts such as the richest man in the world and the owner of Amazon have come in with the simple message of this app, show that there is still a long way to go.
According to the application itself, This is very relevant information WhatsApp knows about us:
