Popular messaging platform WhatsApp has already made a lot of noise, thanks to its controversial privacy policies where some users complained that this would eventually invade their privacy by giving Facebook access to their WhatsApp data.

This resulted in the delay of WhatsApp's new terms and policies. Now according to WABetaInfo, WhatsApp’s new Terms of Service will come into effect on May 15, 2021.

Through the screenshots, the company said that it can’t read or listen to users’ personal conversations as they are end-to-end encrypted. The company is also making it easier for users to chat with businesses. The website also noted that solution providers allow businesses to provide better service to their customers. However, chatting with businesses is optional.
