WhatsApp has given a deadline of Feb 8, 21 to accept the new policy or delete your account. What does it means. Important information in the thread below. 1/6

The older version of the privacy policy, used to start with the following lines: ‘Respect for your privacy is coded into our DNA. Since we started WhatsApp, we’ve aspired to build our Services with a set of strong privacy principles in mind.’

Those lines are no longer there 2/6

It'll collect the following
- battery level, signal strength, app version, browser information, mobile network, connection information (including phone number, mobile operator or ISP), language and time zone, IP address, device operations information, and identifiers 3/6

These identifiers are unique to Facebook Company Products associated with the same device or account, so they'll know which other fb products you use such as @instagram @fbplatform etc. 4/6

The new privacy policy highlights that if someone only deletes the WhatsApp app from their device without using the in-app delete my account feature, then that user’s information will remain stored with the platform. So just deleting the app from your phone won’t be enough. 5/6

So basically @Facebook will consolidate all the data from multiple products to customize their advertisement & it probably wouldn't stop here unfortunately. 6/6
