Agree to terms or face limited functions: WhatsApp

You won’t be able to access your chat list on WhatsApp and may have “limited functionality” on the country’s biggest messaging platform if you do not accept the Facebook-owned messenger’s latest privacy policy, the company said on Monday despite strong reservations expressed by the government, the Supreme Court, and the Competition Commission of India.

While WhatsApp – which has over 53 crore users in India –says that the scale-down of services will not happen immediately for those who do not accept update to the new policy by May 15, the downgrade will happen subsequently when a user does not pay heed to repeated reminders from the company.
