WhatsApp sets a new plan to further explain its contentious privacy policy because users grew concerned that the platform would share their messages with WhatsApp’s parent company Facebook.
In an announcement on Thursday, the company explained how users can read through the new policy and learn how personal and business messages are handled.
The new privacy policy concerns messaging businesses on WhatsApp and what parts of your data the businesses have access to. However, WhatsApp allows users to message businesses and such messages aren’t extended the same protections.
WhatsApp’s privacy policy was seen as an attempt to explain the change, but the majority of users interpreted it as WhatsApp comprising the privacy focus it was known for.
