WhatsApp recently introduced new privacy policies for its users, which includes new terms ensuring that the app will share data with Facebook as a condition of use.

Although this was postponed at first, WhatsApp will now disable some app functionalities until users accept the new privacy terms.

Last week, WhatsApp even mentioned that it would not delete or deactivate the account of those who do not accept the new terms.

While this still remains true, the company has now stated it will somewhat punish users who do not accept the new privacy policies.

Starting May 15, users will eventually lose access to some WhatsApp features until they accept the new terms.

Basically, despite WhatsApp saying that you won’t lose your account if you don’t agree with how the company is going to share your data, it is making the app nearly unusable for these people to force them to accept its new privacy policy.
