Facebook can't spy on these 7 things about your WhatsApp account

The WhatsApp terms and conditions of use have changed. And in those that we have had to sign recently, we are warned that Facebook will have access to some details about our account. This has caused great concern among many users.

You have to keep in mind that through WhatsApp we usually have very personal conversations. Therefore, it is quite logical that we are concerned about the fact that a company that we do not know where is able to access our privacy in this way.

Luckily, little by little the points to which Facebook will not be able to access are becoming clearer. And we can rest easy, since most of the aspects that affect our privacy are not affected by the new conditions. Next, we will tell you 7 aspects to which Mark Zuckerberg's social network will not be able to access without your permission.

Private messages

Neither WhatsApp nor Facebook will be able to access at any time the messages that other users have sent you. Therefore, your conversations will be safe from developer access. Obviously your conversations will continue to be stored on the social network's servers as before, but the encryption that WhatsApp applies prevents anyone you don't want from having access to read them.

Voice calls

You shouldn't worry about someone listening to you while you're talking to your mother or partner.No Facebook or WhatsApp worker will be able to listen to your conversations at any time, since voice calls are protected from their reach.

Location

It is understandable that now you are a little more reluctant to send your location to others users After all, it's not a dish It's nice to know that someone from some remote point on the planet can know where we are and use that information with who knows what interests. But you can rest easy in that sense. And it is that in the new terms and conditions of use it is clearly mentioned the fact that at no time can you access your location.

Contacts

Although sharing contacts between different social networks is quite common, the truth is that this time you have nothing to do worry.And it is that WhatsApp will not share the contacts with which you communicate with Facebook at any time. So you shouldn't have any problem if you have different people in them.

WhatsApp Groups

We have already said that private WhatsApp conversations will be totally safe. But what about group chats?

Well basically the same. Facebook will not have access at any time to the conversations you may have in your groups of friends, family or work. The encryption that WhatsApp applies to all messages makes it impossible for them to know the content of the conversations themselves. Therefore, you can talk to whoever you want without facing any privacy issues.

You can choose to make your messages disappear

Among the new WhatsApp options there is a new function, and it is the arrival of messages that disappear over time.

These temporary messages mean that the content of the chats is deleted every 7 days, so that they are not stored forever. At the moment it is a function that is only available in the beta, in future updates of the application we will be able to make it available to all users who want to try this new form of communication.

You can download your information

As before, you can continue downloading the information that you want from WhatsApp to have it stored in a file on your own device. In this way, you will ensure that you have all the conversations you want at your disposal without worrying that they may disappear from a foreign server. Something that is very practical if you have delicate conversations.
