WhatsApp scraps the May 15 deadline for accepting privacy policy terms
Over the next few weeks, WhatsApp will follow up with reminders to update policy terms
However, unaccepting the terms will not lead to account deletion, clarified the social media giant
WhatsApp had been facing severe backlash since the announcement of the new policy update
The policy for European Users ensures no misuse of personal data
This clause, however, was not found in the policy updates offered to Indian users
This led to controversies that said WhatsApp would share user information with Facebook
India is WhatsApp’s biggest market with over 53 crore users
