WhatsApp Takes a U-Turn From Its Decision

WhatsApp

On a positive note for its Indian customers, WhatsApp has said that it is not going to limit any functionality of the app for the users who don’t accept the new privacy policy. A lot of controversies came to life when the social media giant announced that even though it won’t be enforcing the privacy policy on May 15, it will be limiting the functionalities of the application for the users who fail to accept the new policy.

But according to an IANS report, WhatsApp has taken a u-turn from that decision and will be allowing users to access the complete features of the app even if they haven’t accepted the new privacy policy.

WhatsApp to Keep Reminding Users to Accept the Privacy Policy

In a statement to The Next Web, WhatsApp said that it won’t be limiting the functionalities of the application for the users who don’t accept the new privacy policy. Instead, for now, the company will keep reminding the users about accepting the policy.

WhatsApp has too big a business to risk losing in India. From India alone, the social media giant has more than 400 million users.

In other news, WhatsApp has also filed a case in the Delhi High Court against the new IT rules formed by the government. The government wants the social media applications which have more than 50 lakh users to share the information of the user for any particular message or text that raises questions of national security.
