Title: WhatsApp User?, but not a FaceBook Fan, you might want to read this.
Post by: zirk on 19 September 2016, 01:59:43
So, the Add Free and so called Privacy of the original WhatsApp has been bought by Facenoobs, nothing new there, that was some time ago, however, the new Terms and Conditions of WhatsApp, which you may have already accepted by using the the App, I mean who reads T&C's these days, means the TwitFace can now share your Personal Data, unless you've ticked the 'Dont do it' Box.

So, potentially, FuukBook can share your personal info, sell on, or in anyway as they see fit, and, or worse case your so called private info, contacts, messages etc, could end up plastered all over FaceFook without your knowledge.

Remedy - In WhatsApp go to “Settings”, select “Account”, “Share my account info” and tap on “Don’t Share”. And do it now, because time’s running out as they may remove this option in the near future.  ;)

Thanks!   :y

It's a bit worrying the amount of access to things like your contacts, photos, camera and microphone on smartphones that these apps demand before you can download them.  :-\

This happened some time ago, so anyone daft enough to use it have already spread their own details and all their stored phone contacts to whomever wants it :(
