Why is there a dispute?
In the WhatsApp Privacy Policy, which was rolled out in January, it was said that all the information of the WhatsApp user, including the user’s name, mobile number, mobile handset information, contacts, location, etc. will be shared with the companies owned by Facebook. Also, a lot of personal information, from the user’s private chats and more was shared about the Facebook companies and third party companies, which has angered users worldwide. However, later WhatsApp’s new privacy policy had made it clear that the things done on its platform would remain encrypted as before.
