WhatsApp Privacy Policy: Really? WhatsApp is going to withdraw the new privacy policy? - Knowledge World

Popular instant messaging platform WhatsApp launched with a new feature at the beginning of the new year. But the controversy over this app started at the beginning of this year. WhatsApp users are in trouble to update its new Privacy Policy. But WhatsApp is reluctant to listen to any talk about its privacy policy in the midst of thousands of controversies. The company has made it clear that customers will have to abide by their new policy. And if a user does not accept it, they will be deprived of many features.

This new Privacy Policy and Terms of Use are referred to as updates by WhatsApp only. But how does this Facebook-owned app manage your data as well as allow it to be integrated into multiple apps, including Instagram and Facebook Messenger? The company has faced criticism in India over WhatsApp's privacy policy, and a notice has been sent to India's Ministry of Information and Broadcasting to withdraw WhatsApp's new privacy policy. A reply has been sought from the Center within a week. The centre has warned that it will take legal action if no response is received from the company. The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting complained, 'It is irresponsible, WhatsApp should change its position on imposing these unfair conditions on Indian users.

The Delhi High Court has asked the Indian government to respond to a petition filed by India challenging WhatsApp's new privacy policy on May 15. India alleges that the new privacy policy violates users' right to privacy under the Indian Constitution. A bench of Chief Justice DN Patel and Justice Jyoti Singh issued notices to the central government, WhatsApp and parent company Facebook to respond.

WhatsApp recently cancelled the May 15 deadline for users to receive privacy policy updates. In a statement to the Guardian, the company said that if anyone did not accept the privacy policy, many of their apps would be shut down within weeks. They will then be kept in limited effectiveness. WhatsApp's list of limitations includes features such as chat, notifications and calls. So users will be deprived of these benefits if the company does not accept new updates. Users can accept this new policy by clicking on the 'Agree' option.

Initially, February 8 was the first date for the implementation of WhatsApp's privacy policy, but later it was changed to May 15 due to various controversies. Now WhatsApp has postponed that date. But India is reluctant to abide by this policy in any way!
