New whatsapp rule
You're referring to the new WhatsApp rules!
In November 2021, WhatsApp introduced new rules for its users, which aim to improve the platform's security and user experience. Here are the key changes:
- Two-step verification: WhatsApp now requires a two-step verification process to ensure that your account is secure. This means you'll need to enter a verification code sent to your phone number to complete the sign-up process.
- New privacy policy: WhatsApp has updated its privacy policy to provide more transparency about how it collects and uses your data. The policy explains how WhatsApp uses your data to provide its services, including sharing it with its parent company, Facebook.
- Data sharing with Facebook: WhatsApp will now share some of your data with Facebook, including your phone number, profile information, and other data. This is to help Facebook improve its services and provide more targeted ads.
- New terms of service: WhatsApp has updated its terms of service to reflect the changes in its privacy policy and data sharing practices.
- End-to-end encryption: WhatsApp still uses end-to-end encryption to protect your messages, but it's now clearer that this encryption only applies to messages sent between individuals, not to messages sent to groups or broadcast lists.
- Group chats: WhatsApp has introduced new rules for group chats, including the ability to leave a group chat without the permission of the group admin.
- Forwarding limits: WhatsApp has introduced limits on the number of times you can forward a message to prevent the spread of misinformation.
These changes aim to improve the security and user experience of WhatsApp, while also providing more transparency about how your data is used.
