WhatsApp to limit features for users who reject revised terms of service

WhatsApp, earlier in the year, announced a revision of its terms and services of the messenger app. It said users must accept to share personal data and transactions between them and business owners on WhatsApp. It added that the data will be shared with Facebook and sister companies.

However, WhatsApp’s ultimatum did not go down well with the public particularly in India and many left the platform and moved to alternatives including Telegram and Signal. Also, a case filed against WhatsApp for taking a unilateral decision and not giving an option to reject the new terms for the people in India. There is a disparity in global regions, as WhatsApp’s new terms and services do not impact European citizens.
