Many YouTubers have created insane fears that "WhatsApp will not work, do not use WhatsApp" to increase views. This is to give a little courage to those who are afraid to look at them.
WhatsApp's new privacy policy states that "your phone number, details of payments you make through WhatsApp Payments, your IP address at the time of the transaction, and your device model will be collected and shared with third-party Facebook hosted services as needed." In fact Facebook is not selling that information to unknown third party companies.
Everyone knows that WhatsApp business. This allows restaurants, shopping malls, and small business owners to provide catalog details of items available to customers through WhatsApp, and then withdraw money from us through WhatsApp Payments and deliver the items to us. WhatsApp is making such a complete system available.
Actually this is going to happen ...
Suppose you went to a shopping mall. While shopping and billing there, they will ask for your phone number, as well as the basic payment details for your card stored in their software if you make a bill payment by swiping machine. They will also have a record of the items you bought. Then anytime you approach the same shopping mall where the particular item is compliant, the shopkeeper will look at the details of your purchase in their database and serve you.
Exactly where the WhatsApp business should be considered as well. Take Swiggy for example. If you want to book a biryani in it, you can now open their number on WhatsApp and view their catalog. You can see which dish is available in which restaurant. Then you can pay through WhatsApp and get the biryani home delivery you want. Now WhatsApp saves the Biryani you choose, its quantity, the IP address of the phone you ordered, the transaction number you paid for, and other details to Swiggy. Swiggy will try to do you justice based on that information that makes you compliant that you didn’t get me the right biryani tomorrow.
Without understanding this .. Many people feared that "WhatsApp is stealing our data". This is the culmination of a lack of understanding of technology. In fact Facebook certainly stands to blame for certain things like Cambridge Analytics. But if we misunderstand everything, we are the losers.
If the signal changes to other platforms ..
Many are removing WhatsApp from the platform and heading towards signal and telegram. There is nothing wrong with that. The consumer has the freedom to use what he likes. But here's one thing to keep in mind. Suppose years later, like me was booking biryani on WhatsApp and ordering other items online through WhatsApp. Such services will definitely be missed by those who go to other platforms. The reason is that over the last few years, WhatsApp has become a complete platform for a simple instant messaging app, bringing with it many features such as WhatsApp payments and WhatsApp business. If we go to the signal that it is not a normal chat app, we will definitely lose the rest of the services. Even things like the signal take longer to bring up the same pattern. In this context, it should come as no surprise that those who removed WhatsApp in a hurry today and moved on to other things, have installed WhatsApp on their phone again, rather than letting this emotion subside.
