Here’s what WhatsApp’s updated privacy policy means

Facebook is now showing WhatsApp users a ‘take it or leave it’ attitude with the latest policy update. The update comes with a condition that if the user refuses to share data with Facebook, they will have to quit WhatsApp.

Status, group names and icons, frequency and duration of activities, and whether a user is online information will all continue to be held by WhatsApp. It will also collect and share location, device model, operating system, battery level and browser details.
