After WhatsApp has implemented its new privacy policy and requested the users to accept it, it has gotten international backlash. Although the company has stepped back without deactivating users' accounts, there are still some consequences the users will face by not accepting the new policy.
According to the new FAQ page, if users are still yet to accept the new policy, WhatsApp will have persistent reminders for a short period of time and users won’t be able to access into their chat lists but still be able to receive incoming voice and video calls over it. But if users still refuse, then WhatsApp will stop sending messages and calls to your phone until you accept it.
Although it is stated that users account won’t be deactivated, but bare in mind that if you keep the app installed and won’t be able to access your contact list and even receive any calls or messages, your account will be considered as inactive account after 120 days and it will still be deleted due to inactivity.
With that said, there’s just a matter of time until you accept the policy or move out from the messaging app. So what are you next move? Are you accepting it or moving to another messaging app? Let us know at our Facebook page and stay tuned for more tech news updates on TechNave.com.
