✳️ WHATSAPP | BUSINESS ✳️

businesses are coming to WhatsApp, take a look at this words from WhatsApp's blog:

But as we announced earlier this year, we want to explore ways for you to communicate with businesses that matter to you too, while still giving you an experience without third-party banner ads and spam. Whether it's hearing from your bank about a potentially fraudulent transaction, or getting notified by an airline about a delayed flight, many of us get this information elsewhere, including in text messages and phone calls. We want to test these features in the next several months.

  WhatsApp banned from sharing data with Facebook in Germany

WhatsApp threatened with legal action over Facebook data sharing deal:

The order “prohibits Facebook with immediate effect to collect and store data of German WhatsApp users”, according to a statement from the watchdog. “Facebook is also ordered to delete all data that has already been forwarded by WhatsApp”, it said.
The order had been taken out because the data sharing deal was never done with the agreement of users of the two companies, the watchdog said.
