With millions of WhatsApp users reportedly flocking to other messaging applications after the chat app’s controversial privacy policy update, cyber experts in the country have warned of the risks of using other chat services.
Many people have switched to chat applications such as Telegram, as WhatsApp announced its new terms of service which included a clause that allows Facebook to share data from WhatsApp across its other products.
