WhatsApp has announced since the beginning of this year that it has over 2 billion people using its services, and because it appreciates them so much, it has decided to threaten them with something they did not expect. Specifically, WhatsApp has decided to impose a series of new terms and conditions for the use of its messaging platform at the moment, and all those who are active in it must accept them by May 15, under threat. the company.
WhatsApp is determined to permanently block people's access to accounts if it does not accept its new terms and conditions of use, but you should know that not everything will happen immediately. Specifically, despite a lot of false information circulating, WhatsApp will not block people's accounts starting May 15 if they do not accept the new terms and conditions of use of the platform, but there will be a progressive harassment until they do so, or they will give up the account.
WhatsApp: ATTENTION! The decision is IMPORTANT for EVERYONE
WhatsApp will restrict access to messaging and calls and this will happen for a few weeks, and users will continue to receive notifications about what is happening in the application. After the expiration of this term of a few weeks, WhatsApp will block access to the functions of the application, but will not delete the account permanently, this will be done at the request of the user, or automatically after a period of time.
WhatsApp automatically deletes accounts from its platform at the end of a 3-month period of inactivity, so users will have time until somewhere in the fall to decide whether or not to accept those terms. After the 3 months of inactivity, the account will be automatically deleted, and you will lose all the messages you have received so far, so you will have to "start from scratch" with everyone you have spoken.
WhatsApp is firmly convinced that people will accept its terms and conditions, but it is hard to believe that this will be done by everyone, so it remains to be seen how many will give up the platform.
