JAKARTA - To prepare new features, WhatsApp made changes to its privacy policy for the European region.
"We look forward to bringing new features to WhatsApp this year and giving people in European territory more information about how it works in a way that protects privacy," a Meta spokesperson said in a statement.
These features don't change the way we operate WhatsApp services, including the way we protect your personal information, wherever you are in the world," he added.
This time, the update is just to pave the way for new features and will not cause any changes in how WhatsApp works.
The new changes are mostly related to four features, such as a new Community tool, how Meta's messaging app will work with wearable devices, such as Facebook smart glasses, Ray-Ban, avatars and businesses on WhatsApp.
The company emphasizes that the feature is mostly optional, users can also avoid it by disabling it.
Most likely this new policy is a response to last year's events, in which WhatsApp received a negative reaction after setting its controversial privacy policy.
Allegedly WhatsApp shared users' personal information with Meta, which ultimately forced the company to delay the launch of the policy for months in early 2021.
The application with the green logo denied it at the time, but was already labeled as failing to inform in detail the intent of its policy to users. This was quoted from The Independent, Tuesday, November 15.
