New WhatsApp Privacy Policy! Check here what has changed

Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia – WhatsApp Inc. adopts new ways to socialize its new privacy policy. In the WhatsApp app, a new visual display will appear to clarify what has changed and is not in the policy.

However, the privacy policy is still the same as stated above. According to this messaging app, this effort is their way of clearing up user confusion about the new rules.

“Today we want to let you know how we will ask WhatsApp users to review the terms of service and privacy policy. We are seeing a lot of misinformation circulating about this update. Therefore, it is important for us to clear up the confusion caused by misinformation. WhatsApp said in an official statement, quoted on Friday (2/19/2021).

The company announced in the coming weeks that it will display an in-app banner providing more information. WhatsApp also includes additional information on the new policy to address user concerns.

WhatsApp added that it wants users to be able to review the new rules and receive updates so that they can continue to use the messaging platform.

In its official statement, WhatsApp also said that it charges business users for providing services on the platform. This does not apply to general users.

Facebook, the parent company of WhatsApp, is involved in a number of shopping features so that businesses can manage inventory across a wide range of apps.

“We’re posting more information directly on WhatsApp so that users can choose whether or not they want to communicate with the business,” the company said.

WhatsApp also added that the company also understands that some people want to know about the features offered in other apps. However, according to the company, if there is an app that doesn’t offer end-to-end encryption by default, the app can read the user’s messages.

WhatsApp Deals end-to-end encryption on his service. This feature allows information to be read only by the sender and recipient of the message, while the service provider or Internet provider cannot view it.

A number of apps are also said to be better than WhatsApp because they only know a little bit of information from their users. Meanwhile, according to Whatsapp, companies have access to some limited data in order to provide safe and reliable services.

“We are very careful in making decisions and will continue to develop new ways of fulfilling this responsibility with less information, not more,” WhatsApp said.

For information, the new privacy policy of WhatsApp should come into force on February 8, 2021. But ultimately it was postponed to May 15, 2021.

The delay was made because, according to WhatsApp, many users were confused about the policy. In addition, there is a lot of misinformation and causes unrest among users.
