This will happen to your “WhatsApp” if you don’t update after today deadline
Users yet to accept new terms and conditions for the messaging platform WhatsApp will start to get “persistent” reminders after the 15 May deadline.
The changes relate primarily to the way businesses interact with customers.
Since they were announced, in January, there had been concerns about the prospect of increased data sharing with WhatsApp’s parent company, Facebook, but this will not be changing.

WhatsApp messages are end-to-end encrypted, so they can be read on the devices of the sender and recipient only.
Information about users’ phone, including make, model, and mobile company
IP address, which indicates the location of users’ internet connection
Any payments and financial transactions made over WhatsApp.But this does not apply in Europe and the United Kingdom, where different privacy laws exist.
