In the FAQ on the Whatsapp website, the company has now informed about what should happen on the date the new terms of use come into force. If you haven’t agreed to the new guidelines by May 15th, your account will not be deleted immediately. However, the users then have to live with some restrictions on the messenger service.
According to the website, Whatsapp will no longer be available in its full functionality until the new privacy policy has been approved. Users receive calls and notifications from the app for a short time, but can neither read messages nor send their own texts. Until May 15th, users can export their chat histories and download a report for their account.
Users can still agree to the regulations after the deadline. However, the policy on inactive users applies here, according to the company on its website. This states that inactive users are usually deleted after 120 days of inactivity. Users who do not have an Internet connection to WhatsApp are seen as inactive. However, content that was stored locally on a user’s smartphone before the account was deleted is retained until WhatsApp is removed from the device.
