Its business so there will be adds but my coworker shared her story and i was shocked
She had an argument on WA with her husband and as soon she checkrf FB there were adds from lawyers, second time she was talking about MBA courses and then checks FB, same result. Lastly she was talking to her sister regarding some promotions on a website and she gets an adward on FB yet again so this means they are checking our chat messages in real-time using algorithms. Thats just too much, unless she missed something its really bad to know our 1-1 chats are not secure

This is very common now. You can uninstall a hidden facebook app (that is installed in probably all phone even if you don't have facebook installed) .. it might help..then will move to other apps

Even if there are a lot of bills a lot of data will be shared. Many users I know who've never used Instagram see people they've only ever rarely spoken in whatsapp as suggested.
This happens even if all permissions are switched off. I'm sure many among us also has seen this happen as well.

they change it because they want money and people are using whatsapp for free so they want to use the data of these people. for them, it is not another platform but the parent company.
as per the current situation, if you don't like it, stop using it and start using something else.

Acc. To agreement, only chats between and with buisness account will be used. So if someone doesn't chat with buisness account, theoretically they should not care about it.

According to wa's policy, yes. They need to switch and stop using whatsapp buisness.

Why will they go against it,? In india we don't have any privacy laws like us and eu, more than half the population doesnt know about it.

they also said they may delete inactive accounts.
