Facebook-owned WhatsApp, which is currently under fire due to its controversial privacy policies, had earlier revealed that it will soon come up with a new 'Terms of Service' and its privacy policy. Now, according to the reports, the messaging platform has already started showing in-app notifications to some users in India.

It was earlier scheduled to come on February 8 but now it has been postponed to May 2021. However, WhatsApp has started showing in-app notifications to some users in this regard, the Zee Media Bureau reported.

According to WABetaInfo, WhatsApp has started showing in-app alerts to some users informing them about the change in its Terms of Service. The screenshots shared by the blog site reveal that few users are getting notification which basically informs about the things that are changing with the new Terms of Service.

The Facebook-owned messaging platform has already clarified that the personal chats and information of users will remain end to end encrypted. The company said that while that will remain unchanged, it is making it easier for users to chat with businesses.

WhatsApp is also updating its privacy policy to inform users how businesses are using Facebook tools to interact with their customers better. Users will have to accept the new Terms of Service, otherwise, they would end up losing their accounts, the report said.

Recently, WhatsApp, in its latest update, said that in the coming weeks, it will display a banner in its main platform to provide more information to users about its privacy policy, so that users can understand how it will impact them.

In a blogpost, WhatsApp said: "We previously encountered a great deal of misinformation about this update, and we continue to work hard to clear up any confusion. As a reminder, we’re building new ways to chat or shop with a business on WhatsApp that are entirely optional. Personal messages will always be end-to-end encrypted, so WhatsApp can’t read or listen to them.
