The controversy is served, it seems that all the altercations and the massive migration of WhatsApp to other messaging apps has made them want to take a step back because now the date on which the new policy measures will be implemented has been postponed. privacy. We tell you all the details.
Surely if a member of WhatsApp has received a few days ago really a message that you had to accept the new privacy and data collection to continue using WhatsApp, now the effective date will be May 15, 2021. By what users can be more relaxed and no account will be deleted.
It seems that those in charge of WhatsApp have taken a step back, and it must have been due to the massive migration of users to applications such as Signal or Telegram since they have a higher level of security and less expiratory policies.
WhatsApp has clarified that there are many confusions on the part of users since the new privacy policy only affects people who have some type of contact with companies through the app.
It has also changed how this data will be treated, but only with companies, so they have clarified that data collection is not done to share it with Facebook, all because there are already many users who make purchases through the app.
A few months ago we could see how through WhatsApp we could make purchases, and this type of transaction must have a type of control because WhatsApp wants to achieve greater data on purchases and treatment with companies.
WhatsApp continues to emphasize that conversations are protected by end-to-end encryption so that neither WhatsApp nor Facebook can see the content that is shared through them and they ensure that they will never disable that security measure for users.
Thus, we can be much calmer, as our chats and images that we share through WhatsApp will not be shared with Facebook. Despite this type of change of opinion or clarification, users who have lost WhatsApp in recent days may not be able to recover them. It only remains to wait for the new date to see the complete change of these measures.
