WhatsApp issues clarification -

Worldwide backlash k baad WhatsApp ne jaari kia hai apna ek official clarification regarding new Terms and Policies ko leke.

With the updated Terms of Service, nothing changes about your normal experience on WhatsApp. You can still safely and privately communicate with your family and friends because

  • WhatsApp still cannot see your private messages or hear your calls and neither can Facebook. Chats, Groups and Calls are end-to-end encrypted, and new Terms of Service didn’t change that.
  • No logs are saved about who everyone is messaging with or calling to. This is just used internally in the app to understand which contacts to present at the top of your status updates list, and it’s not uploaded on the server.
  • Shared locations are always private, being end-to-end encrypted.
  • Your contact list is uploaded to WhatsApp servers, but it is never shared with Facebook.
  • Your status updates are still private because they are end-to-end encrypted, and only people you choose from your privacy settings can receive and see them.
