According to WABetaInfo, WhatsApp has started showing in-app alerts to some users informing them about the change in its Terms of Service. The screenshots shared by the blog site reveal that few users are getting notification which basically informs about the things that are changing with the new Terms of Service.

WhatsApp has already clarified that the personal chats and information of users will remain end to end encrypted.
