WhatsApp has been facing one hell of a backlash ever since it shared that it wanted to update its privacy policy with changes that would allow Facebook to aggregate all of its users' data across all of its services. At the start of 2021, WhatsApp came out with its new privacy policy for the users. The company is forcing every single user to accept these privacy policies. The updates privacy policies were supposed to roll out on 8 February 2021. However, there was a lot of backlash. A number of people started showing their lack of trust in the company and the app. The user-base also started making a conscious effort of moving to Telegram or Signal.
