Days ago WhatsApp announced to its users through an alert in its application that they had to accept the new terms of use , which implied that it was granted permission to share personal data - either phone number and location- with Facebook , but the above is not entirely clear, since this is linked to the chat with a company, that is, WhatsApp Business , which is the business application that had already been launched in 2018 , and not personal chats.

After the news, quite a few users panicked and started migrating to other messaging applications , such as Telegram and Signal , in order to protect their Facebook data.
