WhatsApp privacy policy: Why it won’t limit functionality anymore

WhatsApp now won’t limit the functionality of the messaging app if you don’t accept the new privacy policy. This is good news for those who were still not ready to accept the new update. Earlier this month, the Facebook-owned company asserted that users will start losing access to most of the features if they fail to accept the policy after May 15.

Now, those who still haven’t accepted the 2021 privacy policy can continue to use the messaging app without losing any functionality. “Given recent discussions with various authorities and privacy experts, we want to make clear that we will not limit the functionality of how WhatsApp works for those who have not yet accepted the update,” a WhatsApp spokesperson told The Verge.
