In a new statement posted on its website, WhatsApp says users won’t lose any functionality if they fail to accept its new privacy policy by May 15th.

“No one will have their accounts deleted or lose functionality of WhatsApp on May 15th because of this update,” the FAQ now reads.

That’s different from what the page originally said when it was posted in February, when it warned that failing to accept the new terms by the May deadline would mean users would lose functionality.

However, you won’t have full functionality of WhatsApp until you accept.

The difference is that anyone who doesn’t accept the policy now won’t lose full functionality immediately.

In response to the outcry, WhatsApp said it would delay the introduction of its new privacy policy by three months from February to May
