WhatsApp users who did not accept the changes introduced to the platform on May 15 attend the spread of notices within the app so that everyone accepts the new policy. Notifications jump when opening WhatsApp and also when the app is in use; without losing service options by not accepting them.
When WhatsApp announced in early 2021 that it would change its privacy policy to improve the relationship of companies with courier services Notable controversy has been generated around these changes and what they entail due to all the information Facebook ends up collecting. After the new policy came into effect, WhatsApp assured that it would continue to insist that all users accept it. The platform insists.
New WhatsApp notices for you to accept the privacy policy
The company has already told us that the changes in their privacy policy were global and they would continue to insist that users accept them. This implies that those who do not give their permission in the first wave of alerts will continue to see how they appear on their phone when using WhatsApp.
The new privacy message is a three-page notice where WhatsApp sets out the keys to its platform and what changes in the relationship between the company and its users with the new policy. At the end of the message, a tempting “Accept” appears for the user to say yes to the platform.; always without it being essential to continue using it: simply delete the message by returning with the menu button or with the gesture of sliding from the edge of the screen to the center (it depends on the type of navigation configured).
Although WhatsApp insists with messages that urge you to agree to the new terms, offering compliance is not essential: WhatsApp will not stop working so as not to accept changes, nor will it lose functions
The only downside of not agreeing to privacy changes is that the notice would keep popping up. In our experience, some accounts see it with some frequency, in others it did not appear. We are seeing a growing emphasis; all despite the fact that WhatsApp has ensured that the majority of users have accepted the changes to the privacy policy.
What really changes in WhatsApp
The controversy was, and continues to be, very popular. Given the close relationship between Facebook and WhatsApp, the latter belonging to the former after the purchase for $ 19,000 million, it is logical to think that the two will share a greater volume of personal data. It’s not really like that
Changes to the privacy policy are intended to allow interested companies to establish better communication via WhatsApp. These companies can be hosted on Facebook servers in order to offer the product catalog on WhatsApp; which involves backing up data from communications between businesses and users, serving Facebook ads to users to communicate on WhatsApp, enabling messaging purchases, and providing support for those purchases. Those who do not accept the new policy will not have access to future news.
WhatsApp wants its platform to be useful for businesses to not only contact customers, but also the messaging app to be used to directly purchase products.
Acceptance of the new terms does not allow Facebook to use WhatsApp data, at least no more than what is already happening now. Of course, WhatsApp reserves the right to extend its policy, as long as the Irish privacy organizations allow it.
