WhatsApp has stirred a huge controversy over its new privacy policy update. The new policy has been criticized not only by users but also by the Indian government. It was initially rolled out in January earlier this year. But, WhatsApp had to halt the rollout and delay the policy update to May 15th. The company is now undertaking the uphill task of educating users on how the new policies affect their private data.
The story does not end there. Coming back to whether your WhatsApp account will be deleted if you do not accept the new policies or not? The answer is yes — but after 120 days. The Facebook-owned messaging giant will apply the inactive users policy to those who do not accept the changes.
