So, what happens if you don’t accept new terms by May 15? WhatsApp says it won’t delete your account, despite reports suggesting otherwise, “however, you won't have full functionality of WhatsApp until you accept for a short time, you'll be able to receive calls and notifications, but won't be able to read or send messages.”
And many users are now wary, with tens of millions having reportedly switched to alternatives and a risk that many more may now follow. In combination with WhatsApp’s privacy label, which was starkly different to its key rivals, the update has shone an awkward light on the world’s leading data harvester owning the world’s leading secure messenger. That might be the reality, but the perception is much worse. Your normal messages remain secure, and Facebook isn’t getting much more out of WhatsApp data-wise than it had before. If you choose to chat with businesses over WhatsApp, then you’ll be doing so under different terms than with your personal contacts. In reality, the risks around the update itself have been overblown.
