WhatsApp relaxes deadline for accepting the new privacy policies

Initially set on February 8, the deadline to update the new privacy policies has been extended by WhatsApp in the face of backlash from the users on sharing user data with Facebook. However, it’ll still be effective from May 15 for new users and for people who’ve already accepted the policy. The difference is that anyone who doesn’t accept the policy now won’t lose full functionality immediately. Instead, they’ll be shown a reminder to accept the new policy. After May 15, if the users don’t agree to the updated policies, the app will start reducing functionality and gradually become unusable to the said users.
