WhatsApp is adding an extra layer of privacy and security settings to update its Terms of Service as well as privacy policies. 

WhatsApp users belonging to Europe should pay attention here! WhatsApp has announced that it is upgrading the Terms of Service and Privacy Policies for users located in Europe. The company introduced these changes after the introduction of two new EU regulations, which are the Digital Services Act and the Digital Markets Act. 

Meta-owned WhatsApp stated that it will add more details regarding its terms regarding various guidelines and regulations, which will dictate what is and is not allowed to be done within the application. 

As per the new law established in Europe, the DMA stands for Digital Markets Act, which needs messaging applications such as WhatsApp to work with other applications. This means that users will have the power to send messages to people using different applications, and end-to-end encryption will keep the messages private. More details regarding how this will function, particularly with WhatsApp, are arriving soon. 

It appears that changes will be made to the technique for transferring international data. More specifically for European users, WhatsApp will focus on the new EU-US Data Privacy Framework. Apart from all, the noticeable fact is that the minimum age for messaging services will be reduced from 16 to 13 years within the European country. 

As per the developers of services, this update will make sure that the minimum age needs are met, which are constant internationally. Also, privacy will not be compromised at any cost, and personal calls as well as messages will also remain protected by end-to-end encryption, so no one else can view their content.

This update will come into existence on April 11, 2024, for users who already signed up for the messaging service before February 16. Also, those who don’t want this update or avoid accepting the new regulations introduced can request information or delete their account directly.
