WhatsApp says privacy policy on hold till enactment of data privacy law
WhatsApp on Friday told the Delhi High Court it would not limit the functionality of its messaging app in case a user does not consent to its latest privacy policy, and will maintain the approach at least till the forthcoming data protection Bill comes into effect. The Centre had earlier told WhatsApp to withdraw its policy.

As per news report of The Indian Express,  “We will continue to display our updates from time to time to people who have not accepted. In addition, we will display the update whenever a user chooses relevant optional features, like when a user communicates with a business receiving support from Facebook,” Senior Advocate Harish Salve, representing WhatsApp, told the court. The court was hearing an appeal against the Competition Commission of India’s ongoing probe into WhatsApp’s privacy policy.
