WhatsApp is expected to issue a new version shortly that would allow users to opt-out of the new privacy rules. According to a recent revelation from WaBetaInfo, consumers will not be forced to accept the new privacy terms. The option to reject the new policy will be available, and WhatsApp's functioning will not be restricted.

Those who wish to message business accounts on WhatsApp that utilise cloud providers will have to review and accept the revised terms of service, according to the article. Those who do not contact company accounts do not have to be concerned. When someone attempts to message corporate accounts, the app will offer additional terms and conditions, according to reports.

"WhatsApp recently updated its terms and privacy policy," the notification reads. To manage conversations, the company employs a secure service provided by Facebook. To chat with a business contact, one will have to review and approve the WhatsApp update." Users will be given two choices: ‘Not now' and ‘Review.'

According to WABetaInfo, the messaging service plans to announce this "very soon," and it will be pushing out a WhatsApp beta version for both Android and iOS users.

The firm, which is owned by Facebook, initially published its revised terms of service in January of this year, intending to provide integrated services across all Facebook products. After that, WhatsApp received a lot of flak, and many users switched to alternative applications like Signal and Telegram. Those who refuse to accept the new rules will be unable to access all of the app's features, according to the messaging service.

Because WhatsApp was strongly chastised for this, the company decided to let users access all functions even if they refused to accept the rules. Users will now have the option of consenting to the revised conditions, according to the instant messaging service.
