Facebook Inc.-owned social messaging platform WhatsApp will not limit the functionality of users who haven’t accepted its new privacy policy, it said on Monday. “We will not limit the functionality of how WhatsApp works in the coming weeks. WhatsApp has claimed on multiple occasions, including on Monday, that the policy does not change privacy of people’s personal messages. It also said it would not delete accounts, but would, after 15 May, limit functionality for users who did not accept the policy. No accounts were deleted on 15 May because of this update and no one in India lost functionality of WhatsApp either.
