In a surprising turn of events, WhatsApp has decided that the May 15th deadline for accepting the new privacy policy is no longer in place.
WhatsApp announced their privacy policy changes a couple of months ago, and honestly, the changes did not sit well with anyone. Many even went ahead and called them out on their privacy policy changes. It seems that WhatsApp is withdrawing on that statement as your accounts are not going to be deleted on 15th May, later this month. However, WhatsApp will continue to send notifications about the new privacy policy, hoping that users finally accept it.
