News Desk: WhatsApp is going through a difficult time. As a result of the new policy, the popularity of this social chatting app is gradually decreasing. Damage control has been started in various ways to handle the situation.

It is informed that the new policy will be launched in February or May. Yet one is surrounded by uncertainty. WhatsApp's new privacy policy could also affect the legal rights of ordinary people. But what is in this policy? As per the policy, everyone has to click on an 'Agree and Accept' option to use the updated version of the app. Otherwise this app will become unusable.

According to WhatsApp's updated policy, user information may be shared with other platforms of the company. In this case, the data of your WhatsApp can also be shared on the owned company Facebook and other apps under it. In addition, the app will be able to track the user's location data at all times. The chatting platform, however, claimed that the new policy would further strengthen the service and user experience.

But people have started to suffer for fear of leaking information. Their panic - this time all privacy will be broken. Resolving this issue is a big challenge for WhatsApp. In this case, initially two issues will appear. Primary text messages will be shared in the business account. Another issue is metadata. In this case, there is a possibility of leaking highly confidential and sensitive information.

Simply put, this metadata is everything in a message. Except for the content, the rest is meta data. In this case, everything including contact number, location, financial details will be leaked. After knowing all the information of the user, Facebook will be able to place multiple advertisements on different platforms using it. Simply put, you will increase your business illegally.
