Refusing to accept WhatsApp's new privacy policy? Here's what will happen to your account

While private conversations will remain encrypted, messages sent to and from businesses may be shared, and Facebook can use the data for targeted advertising. Those who refuse to comply with the new policy will find that their accounts won’t be deleted straight away, but functionality will be severely limited. They’ll no longer be able to send or read messages from the app, and while receiving calls and notifications will be possible, those features will also disappear after a few weeks. WhatsApp notes that users can still accept the updates after May 15 but warns that it generally deletes accounts following 120 days of inactivity. WhatsApp is essentially clarifying that any user who refuses to accept the new privacy policy will eventually have their account terminated.
