Indeed we don’t have a choice here, but the update has its own benefits like- encrypted media, backed up for chats and saved contacts. There are features you won’t be able to use if you don’t update. You can check the detail about it on their site.
Let’s time to switch telegram
WhatsApp is an American freeware, cross-platform messaging and Voice over IP service owned by Facebook, Inc.However you are right staying away from Chinese Apps

Telegram is Best.
Just to share my thoughts with you guys, I started using whatsapp in 2011 in galaxy fit running Android eclairs, I remember I have paid annual charges for 2 years for using whatsapp, IM was still niche and the idea that now you don’t have to pay for messaging was great relief, one of it greatest feature in whatsapp was to compress pictures without much affecting it’s quality, later it became free resource, much later it was acquired by Facebook, I still prefer it over others because I really had such great bonding session over it , I really won’t mind fb getting to my phone contacts till it doesn’t reach my chat account, I believe above terms and conditions is how fb can monetize you contact data in different ways, customer has to know these things since digital compliance has become strict now, so nothing to fear about it
Change your mind again cause now they have access to your every data and chart content. What you type, what you share everything and they may use or share that data with anyone they desire.
Switch before it’s too late
I think the difference is just that they have mentioned about it in the privacy policy so that nobody files a lawsuit. Otherwise, it’s hard to believe that Facebook wasn’t using all this data already. People have problem with this, but not when they use cobranded credit cards(like flipkart amazon), Google services, Facebook itself. What I know is, as soon as you’re on internet, there is nothing like privacy. It’s just that how much you know about the risk. WhatsApp disclosed it, other apps would capitalize it. But privacy, I don’t know, no guarantees.
I would like to add that, since 2016 whatsapp is sharing data with facebook. And this new privacy policy doesn’t really impact how it was collecting user’s data before it started showing this privacy policy notification. In my opinion this new terms & privacy policy is a good move which makes it more transparent and is also beneficial for the users. All those people who have now awakened (uninstalled whatsapp and started signal/session/threema/telegram/etc.) are no different with people who are still using whatsapp. Because thier “data profiles” were already been made and tech giants know already much about them. If they really care about their privacy they must introspect themselves and ask do they use everything without google products, a paid vpn, tor, open source softwares, since they started using internet? Using one privacy oriented messaging software doesn’t make a difference. The battle of privacy was long lost by us, the tech giants know almost everything about us, much more than people know about themselves. Instead of debating about whatsapp we should focus on more privacy & data protection law and remove “I have nothing to hide” mentality. If the data is the hands of companies then it might be a bad thing, but it would be worst when it goes in the hands of government. Influencing political thoughts is the endgame and we should fight regarding that. I think in this era, if you are online you have no privacy.
Transition to signal & telegram ongoing
Will delete wapp acc. After 8th of Feb.
