Di sisi lain, WhatsApp mencoba memerangi rumor seputar kebijakan privasi terbarunya. Lewat akun Twitter, WhatsApp mengklaim kebijakan barunya tetap melindungi pesan privat dengan enkripsi end-to-end.

Our privacy policy update does not affect the privacy of your messages with friends or family. Learn more about how we protect your privacy as well as what we do NOT share with Facebook here: https://t.co/VzAnxFR7NQ

Redaktur Pelaksana PhoneRadar, Amit Bhawani merespons klaim tersebut lewat cuitan berikut ini:

#WhatsappPrivacy Policy explained by @WhatsApp

They are trying to address some rumors, while never addressing the fake messages that are shared on the platform daily.

"WhatsApp mencoba meluruskan sejumlah rumor, tetapi tidak pernah membahas pesan palsu yang menyebar di platform-nya setiap hari," tulis Bhawani.

Asal tahu saja, kebijakan baru WhatsApp membuka peluang bermitra dengan Facebook; menawarkan integrasi yang lebih dalam di produk-produk grup Facebook.
