Coming May 15, you will be asked to accept the new privacy policy. But what happens if you don’t do it? WhatsApp has explained in details what’s going to happen if you don’t accept it and has also given users options.

If you don’t accept the new privacy policy by May 15, WhatsApp will not delete your account. However, you cannot utilise the app fully, as certain functionalities will be disabled if you do not accept the new policy.

For a short time you will receive calls and notifications on the app, but you cannot read or send messages. WhatsApp has said that you can still accept the updates after May 15.

Also, you can export your chat history on your Android smartphones and iPhones and download a report of your account before May 15.
