As WhatsApp has updated its terms of service and privacy policy, the instant messaging app will now share its user data with its parent firm Facebook. Users will have to accept these terms by 8 February next month in order to continue using the Facebook-owned messaging platform.
The popular messaging app informed its Android and iPhone users, through an app notification on Tuesday, of the most notable changes in both the updated privacy policy and terms of service of how WhatsApp shares information with Facebook and its subsidiaries
WhatsApp users have also been provided an option to agree to the update directly from the full-screen notice.
Apart from changes on how the app handles and collects user data, there are new sections including Transactions, Payments Data, and Location Information to provide details on precise data collection by the app. The platform has also included specific information on business interactions taking place through its messaging app.
