-------
WhatsApp announced to users on Wednesday (Jan 6) that they would have to agree to let Facebook and its subsidiaries collect WhatsApp data including users’ phone numbers, contacts’ phone numbers, locations, and more.
-------
A WhatsApp representative told Ars Technica the change was to allow businesses to store WhatsApp chats using Facebook infrastructure.
It is speculated that with the move, Facebook will now use the data from WhatsApp users to improve Facebook products and serve more relevant ads.
The new policy also means Facebook reserves the right to share the data collected within its family of online platforms.
Furthermore, there will be cases where Facebook decides to share that data with third parties, which has privacy groups riled up again.

UK-based journalist and editor at large for TechCrunch Mike Butcher tweeted that “Signal and Telegram are now better alternatives if you are concerned about your privacy”.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk was among those who recommended users switch services, tweeting, “Use Signal.”
