As people Signal new era; WhatsApp delays new update

After facing backlash for the new user’s policy WhatsApp has decided to postpone the new changes till it manages to explain the policies. Earlier the update was going to take place on Feb 08, 2021 but now it has been postponed till May 15, 2021.

WhatsApp has tried to defend itself by stating that the private chats/ calls and locations sent remains end-to-end encrypted and neither WhatsApp nor Facebook can read these messages or calls. The company doesn’t share & store user’s data with it’s parent company i.e., Facebook.

WhatsApp has accepted that it is providing secure hosting services to businesses from Facebook and can see what and how people communicate with them and can see what they are saying and may use and share the information for marketing purposes.

Many of the people has already shifted to the messaging app – Signal after Elon Musk tweeted about it.
