WhatsApp has confirmed that users that don\u2019t accept their controversial new privacy policy will eventually have their accounts deleted. The new privacy policy\u2019s roll out has been delayed from February until May 15th. After the Ides of May, WhatsApp users that haven\u2019t accepted the privacy policy will no longer be able to send or receive messages \u2013 but they will still be able to receive calls and notifications. WhatsApp<\/a> confirmed to TechCrunch<\/a> that this limbo period of functionality will only last for a few weeks. After that period ends, a WhatsApp account that hasn\u2019t accepted the new privacy policy will go inactive \u2013 and WhatsApp has a general policy of deleting inactive accounts after 120 days.<\/p>\n

WhatsApp issues ultimatum on new privacy policy<\/h2>\n

The controversial privacy policy will see the phone number and location of WhatsApp users shared with Facebook<\/a> and used for ad targeting purposes. When the privacy policy was first announced, a flurry of users migrated from WhatsApp to other end-to-end encrypted messaging apps such as Signal and Telegram. There was a general fear that WhatsApp would have access to the end-to-end encrypted messages that billions of users send each other on the app every day. WhatsApp has sought to clear that misconception up, team members told Reuters<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve also included more information to try and address concerns we\u2019re hearing.\u201d<\/p>\n

WhatsApp users will still have end-to-end encryption for p2p (person to person) messages; however, b2c (business to consumer) messages will be affected. This change matters to some, and not to others. WhatsApp has shared phone numbers with Facebook for years now, but this next privacy change is exactly what became inevitable from the very moment that Facebook acquired WhatsApp. WhatsApp founders quit Facebook<\/a> post-acquisition leaving lots of money on the table over this change years before. Facebook has made an ultimatum to WhatsApp users: Now is the time to decide.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
