WhatsApp Privacy Policy FILE New Delhi: Facing backlash over its upcoming privacy policy, WhatsApp that has been using its Status feature to allay fears in India for some time now, has now expanded its “commitment to your privacy” message to the users in the US and UK as well. The in-app messages started appearing for users in the US and UK on Saturday in Status which is WhatsApp’s version of Snapchat Stories or Twitter Fleets. The messages read “One thing that isn’t new is our commitment to your privacy,” along with a reminder that “WhatsApp can’t read or listen to your personal conversations as they’re end-to-end encrypted,” reports The Verge. A WhatsApp spokesperson said: “Going forward, we’re going to provide updates to people in the Status tab so people hear from WhatsApp directly”. “Our first update reaffirms that WhatsApp cannot see your personal messages, and neither can Facebook, because they are protected by end-to-end encryption”. Earlier this month, the Facebook-owned app moved back the date on which people will be asked to review and accept the terms, from February 8 to May 15. “We’ll then go to people gradually to review the policy at their own pace before new business…

Freelance journalist Kate O’Flaherty tells Anushka Asthana why alternative messaging platforms suddenly seem so attractive to users, and how WhatsApp has reacted.

BENGALURU: Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has come to the defence of WhatsApp over its recent policy update. He said when it comes to protecting people’s messages, WhatsApp is “clearly superior”. Zuckerberg even took a dig at rivals, naming Apple’s iMessage. During the company’s earnings call, he said WhatsApp has a lot of competitors who have made “misleading claims” about their privacy standards. “iMessage stores non-end-to-end encrypted backups of your messages by default unless you disable iCloud. So, Apple and governments have the ability to access most people’s messages. So, when it comes to what matters most — protecting people’s messages — I think that WhatsApp is clearly superior,” he said. The Facebook-owned WhatsApp has been under fire in India, its largest market with 400 million users, since its proposed privacy changes. Alternative messaging platforms like Signal, built by Brian Acton who’d previously co-founded WhatsApp, have gained new users due to this. WhatsApp has postponed implementing the changes to mid-May after the backlash. FacebookTwitterLinkedinEMail
