Will WhatsApp’s New Terms of Service Share Data with Facebook?
No, WhatsApp’s new terms of service do not involve sharing data with Facebook. WhatsApp is owned by Facebook, but the two services remain separate. WhatsApp has always been committed to protecting user privacy, and that commitment remains unchanged. The new terms of service do not mean that WhatsApp will start sharing user data with Facebook or any other company. Instead, the new terms clarify how businesses can use the platform to store and manage their messages. These terms are designed to give businesses more control over their communications and to help them comply with applicable laws. WhatsApp will continue to protect the privacy of personal conversations and will not share user data with Facebook or any other third party for the purpose of targeting ads. WhatsApp also does not store messages in the cloud and does not share user data with Facebook for product improvement or advertising purposes.
