CCI has fined Meta Rs 231 crore and it also means WhatsApp is changing for you
WhatsApp users in India will soon see significant changes to their app interface following the Competition Commission of India’s order requiring Meta to implement new privacy controls and data-sharing options.
The messaging platform, with over 500 million users in India, must add prominent in-app notifications allowing users to opt out of data sharing with Meta’s other platforms, including Facebook and Instagram. A new dedicated tab in WhatsApp settings will let users review and modify their data-sharing preferences.
