WhatsApp Delays changing its conditions of use after several users flee to Telegram or Signal
Privacy "WhatsApp cannot see your messages or listen to your calls": the app defends itself after the controversy over its terms and conditions
WhatsApp
is clear: either its way or no way.
If you are one of those who have used third-party applications to
modify the operation of WhatsApp
, we have bad news: you
may be left without your account
.
Since the messaging app has hardly any customization options, although in recent years it is true that they have improved in this category, many developers decided to modify the application themselves to change colors, allow the use of other fonts or other more gruesome things which we will not mention here.
Tired of the dangers that these apps entail, as they could be used to
collect information from their users or to install viruses
, WhatsApp has decided this week that if you use any of these applications, you will not be able to continue using WhatsApp and they will
block your account
.
Among the most popular applications that are going to get your account blocked, would include
WhatsApp Plus, GB WhatsApp
and, ultimately, anyone who promises to modify the application unofficially.
The reasons that WhatsApp uses to veto users who make use of these apps is simple: they
violate its conditions of use
, which coincidentally have recently been updated to include a new clause in relation to these customization apps.
For now, users affected by this change in WhatsApp attitude are not going to lose their account forever:
the block will be temporary
and they will
be
able to recover the account after a while.
But if they insist on using these apps, they
could lose it forever.
