WhatsApp Wants to Share Your Data with Facebook

Written by Joe Teh on August 28, 2016

If you have not heard about it, here is the news. The latest WhatsApp update wants you to agree to their new terms and condition. One of them is to agree that you will share WhatsApp account info with Facebook.

Good thing is that you have 30 days to decide. If you choose NOT to share the account information, the option will disappear immediately.

The choices you have. If you are an existing user, you can choose not to have your WhatsApp account information shared with Facebook to improve your Facebook ads and products experiences. Existing users who accept our updated Terms and Privacy Policy will have an additional 30 days to make this choice by going to Settings > Account.

Based on the information, they are sharing information to fight spam, make product suggestion on Facebook and etc. I think I can do without another app sharing things. So, I have unticked the “share my account info” option. It is up to you.

We joined Facebook in 2014. WhatsApp is now part of the Facebook family of companies. Our Privacy Policy explains how we work together to improve our services and offerings, like fighting spam across apps, making product suggestions, and showing relevant offers and ads on Facebook. Nothing you share on WhatsApp, including your messages, photos, and account information, will be shared onto Facebook or any of our other family of apps for others to see, and nothing you post on those apps will be shared on WhatsApp for others to see.

If you like to read more before deciding, you can click HERE. Personally, I think since they joined Facebook, it is a matter of time that they will share information. Thankfully, WhatsApp is transparent about it, with option for user to opt out. And they are still banner-free 🙂 .
