WhatsApp has agreed to comply with the European Union’s transparency regulations for data. The move comes after complaints from consumer groups across Europe, who said that the company had not clarified its privacy policy changes last year.
The European Commission announced on Monday that WhatsApp will be more transparent about any future alterations to its privacy policies, Reuters reported. This development marks a significant step towards protecting users’ data privacy in the EU.

The move is a positive one for consumers who have been concerned about the privacy implications of WhatsApp’s policies. With more transparency around data usage and sharing, users can make informed decisions about their online privacy. It also shows that tech companies like Meta are taking consumer complaints seriously and are willing to take steps toward greater accountability.
As part of the agreement, WhatsApp will provide users with clear and concise information about any changes to its privacy policies.
The company will also give users the option to accept or reject these changes before they come into effect. Additionally, WhatsApp has committed to working closely with data protection authorities across Europe to ensure that it complies with all EU regulations.
