Hi everyone
*WhatsApp* has just released an update that basically shares your _"Account Information"_ with *Facebook*.
You will be prompted to _*Agree*_ to their new T&Cs when the app is updated with this feature... and while you can chose to click on _*Not Now*_, that will only allow you to use WhatsApp for a limited time (irrespective of your subscription status), after which you _*have to Agree.*_
Which means, you have no choice but to _*Agree.*_
But... there's a way to disable this information sharing _after_ you have forcibly agreed to their new T&Cs.
1. _Agree_ to the new T&Cs when prompted.
2. Click on the _Settings_ tab within WhatsApp
3. Click on _Account_
4. Right at the bottom, you will see a new toggle switch called _Share My Account Info_
5. Turn it _OFF_
Thats it.
If the above if too confusing, follow the screenshots below.
PS: If you'd rather let Facebook learn more about your every activity, please ignore this long message.
