You will not give the use, but will remind you to confirm the terms
WhatsApp has announced that it will not condition the use of the platform on the approval of the new terms, but it will pop up a message stating that users must approve the new terms.
If the user does not agree to the terms, the message will come back for goodness sake.
The new WhatsApp update addressed the changes when messaging users with businesses.
For example, if you browsed a business user's catalog, WhatsApp intended to save the information and "bounce" it on Facebook as well.
In January WhatsApp announced that it would postpone the final date for approving the terms of use to May 15th.
So she said: "Much more will be done to find out the misinformation surrounding the behavior of privacy and security in WhatsApp. After that, people can check the policy at their own pace, before new business options become available on May 15."
