WhatsApp users could lose access to their account next month. (PA) WhatsApp is making changes to its privacy policy making sharing data with Facebook compulsory next month. If you use the messaging app you will need to agree to the new privacy terms by February 8 if you wish to continue using the service. People have been receiving a pop-up message over the past few days being asked to agree to the tech giant's new terms. WhatsApp users have received a message outlining the new changes and given an option to ‘agree’ to continue using the service. The small print reveals users will not be able to use the app if they do not agree to the changes.
