WhatsApp’s New Privacy Policy Update: Here’s what happens if you don’t accept the new terms

What happens if you don’t accept the new terms of service?

*If the terms of service have not been accepted after the persistent reminders, then users will encounter limited functionality.

*To begin with, users won’t be able to access the chat list, although answering incoming calls will still be available. If notifications are enabled, then they can be tapped on to read and respond to messages.

*However, after another couple of weeks, WhatsApp will stop sending messages and calls to the device. Moreover, users won’t receive incoming calls or notifications.

*In the latest blog post, WhatsApp notes that users will be able to export their chats and download a report of their account on their own.

It is worth noting that WhatsApp will not delete the account if a user has not accepted the terms of service. WhatsApp existing policy related to inactive users will apply, which automatically deletes accounts after 120 days of inactivity
