WhatsApp’s new privacy policy kicks in today: Here’s what will happen to your account

WhatsApp’s updated privacy policy kicks in today. The Facebook-owned company has been backtracking on its deadline for users to accept the new terms of service but it will start taking action soon. To recap, WhatsApp’s new privacy policy was originally supposed to take effect on February 8 but due to the massive user backlash it was delayed to May 15. This meant WhatsApp users had to accept the new terms of service or lose access to their account. But WhatsApp relaxed this deadline again saying that it won’t remove any account but it will start limiting features soon.
