Facebook’s WhatsApp is the world’s most popular instant messenger, an app that supports end-to-end encryption by default and works on iPhone and Android. But Facebook wants to collect more user data from WhatsApp, an app it paid nearly $20 billion several years ago. Facebook reminded WhatsApp users via a prompt in early January that a privacy policy change was scheduled for February 8th. Users could only tap the “agree” button (or postpone the agreement), as there was no way to opt out. To continue using the app, you’d have to agree to Facebook’s new terms or look elsewhere.
