Instead, this update includes changes related to messaging a business on WhatsApp, which is optional, and provides further transparency about how we collect and use data.”
The company issued the following statement on Twitter: “We want to address some rumors and be 100% clear we continue to protect your private messages with end-to-end encryption … We want to be clear that the policy update does not affect the privacy of your messages with friends or family in any way. WhatsApp is also not logging call and message contacts, and will continue to allow users to set messages to disappear and to download personal data. The new page also claims that user contacts will not be shared with Facebook, and that neither company can see user locations. WhatsApp privacy policy update indicates data sharing is limited to business messagingĪ new “privacy and security” FAQ on WhatsApp’s website addressed the privacy policy update, opening by stressing that neither it nor Facebook scans messages or anything shared in groups. The company also appeared to be responding indirectly to the new privacy “nutrition labels” that are required by Apple, breaking down its specific levels of access to personal data in an attempt to reassure a userbase that bought into it as the “security-focused” alternative to Facebook Messenger.
