At the starting of this year, many concerns took place regarding the WhatsApp policy changes. The company has recently announced a new privacy policy to clarify how the company collects and uses data when a user messages a business. WhatsApp has decided to scrap the May 15 deadline for its controversial privacy policy.
According to a tweet from the Press Trust of India, WhatsApp has scrapped the May 15 deadline for accepting its privacy policy. The report further states that no accounts will be deleted if the new terms are not accepted by users, which is a complete U-turn from its stance before.

In a statement, WhatsApp said the following:
“While the majority of users who have received the new terms of service have accepted them, we appreciate some people haven’t had the chance to do so yet. No accounts will be deleted on May 15 because of this update and no one will lose the functionality of WhatsApp either. We will follow up with reminders to people over the next several weeks.”
