But it insists that nothing about the service itself is altering.

The changes, which will only be made to the privacy policy that is applicable in Europe and not the rest of the world, are intended to “add additional detail around our existing practises.

“There are no changes to our processes or contractual agreements with users, and users will not be required to agree to anything or to take any action in order to continue using WhatsApp,” the company said, announcing the change.

Writing about the new tweaks required by the Irish Data Protection Commissioner (DPC), WhatsApp directly addressed those kinds of concerns.

“This update does not change how we process, use or share user data with anyone, including Meta, nor does it change how we operate our service,” it wrote.

And “users will not be required to agree to anything new or to take any action in order to keep using WhatsApp”, it added.JAMB Result
