WhatsApp is observing its 12th anniversary amid a backlash by users over the newly issued terms and services.
Despite the backlash, the company has said that it will go ahead with new terms.
However, the Facebook-owned company has said that it will start “reminding” people to accept the updated terms and conditions after asking users to review the terms of service and privacy policy.
