HIGHLIGHTS
The status messages had already appeared in
India quite a few times but now it has also started appearing in the United
States and United Kingdom. One of the status messages that appeared recently on
WhatsApp read, “One thing that isn't new
is our commitment to your privacy. WhatsApp can't read or listen to your
personal conversations as they're end-to-end encrypted.”You can spot the
statuses by WhatsApp on the top of all the messages of your contacts.WhatsApp
is using status messages to give the correct information about its privacy
policies to the users.
There has been a lot of misconceptions
about how this privacy policy will share the personal conversation of users
with Facebook. The company has outrightly denied doing so. However, this did
not stop the users from migrating to other messaging apps including Telegram
and Signal, which the users considered safer than WhatsApp. Taking
cognizance of the matter, WhatsApp too had delayed rolling out its new terms of
service and privacy policies.
