WhatsApp will limit, not ban, those who do not adhere to the new policy
WhatsApp caused a stir when he announced its new usage and privacy policies and warned that it would make acceptance mandatory, otherwise it could suspend the service. Many complaints arose, and then the adhesion was postponed to come into effect in May. But WhatsApp has backtracked and decided not to ban anyone who doesn't agree with the changes. However, it will still make a series of basic functions unusable as a form of pressure.
Android Central got direct answers from a spokesperson for the app, who announced how the limited functionality of the messenger will work. If the user delays accepting it, they will not be able to open conversations or start new chats. However, they will still be able to receive audio and video calls. It will also be possible to respond to notifications directly from the alert bar.
From time to time, a pop-up with the new policies will appear, and new restrictions may be introduced, such as completely blocking incoming calls or notifying you of new messages. This way, WhatsApp does not ban users who do not agree with its new policy, but it does find a way to make you rethink the new terms of use.
May 15
It is worth remembering that the new policies will go live on May 15. While the company has given up on expelling users, it practically hijacks accounts until the consumer agrees to share sensitive information with Facebook, such as phone number, transactions (now that WhatsApp Pay has arrived in Brazil), and other sensitive data such as interactions with users, in order to facilitate tracking for ads.
It is not clear whether, on iOS, the new anti-tracking policy da Apple You can minimize the impact of WhatsApp, whether or not you kick it out, adopting its new policy. In theory, allowing an app to “snoop” on your behavior on your device is different from allowing the app itself to observe your usage more deeply within itself.
