Your WhatsApp Account Will Be Deleted If You Don't Agree To New Terms By 8 February

WhatsApp users have noticed that the messaging app will be changing its privacy policy and if people don't agree they will lose access to their accounts.

The app, which is owned by Facebook, has two billion active users, many of which have already had a pop-up message asking them to share their data with Facebook.

Mark Zuckerburg who owns both WhatsApp and Facebook, as well as Instagram, is hoping to merge all three brands at some point.

The notification states that failure to agree with the changes by 8 February will result in the user's account being deleted.

The message gives the user a chance to either click 'agree' or 'not now' - but does not let them decline the changes.

In the small print, it states that the cut-off date for agreeing to the terms is 8 February - any later and your account will be deleted.

LADbible has contacted WhatsApp for comment.

Meanwhile, Apple has revealed the ways in which WhatsApp tracks the data of users and stores some pieces of detail about users around the world .

We've all suspected - and known - for ages that our mobile devices are checking up on what we do.

However, WhatsApp has made a point of stating over the years that they are the most secure messaging app going.

Also, it's worth assuming that all apps are mining your personal data in some shape or form.

WhatsApp tells you about what personal data they keep on you in the terms and conditions that you were supposed to read when you signed up, but who has the time to do that, right?

Now, the folks behind the iPhone - and crucially iMessage - have shone a light on the information apps are actually grabbing from you.

On 14 December last year, Apple introduced new privacy labels that explain what data every app in the App Store is harvesting from you.

When you look up an app, a label is shown that tells you exactly what data it will collect. This includes Apple's own products.

According to that, WhatsApp takes info such as contacts and location from you.

It could also get hold of your email address, financial information, phone number, and user content. That could all be linked to your identity.

Before Apple's scheme was rolled out, WhatsApp criticised it for being too vague.

The company said it doesn't tell the full story and isn't representative of how far the developers have gone to ensure that personal information is protected.

It said: "While providing people with easy to read information is a good start we believe it's important people can compare these privacy nutrition labels from apps they download with apps that come pre-installed, like iMessage."
