WhatsApp tests age confirmation in India ahead of DPDP law compliance
WhatsApp is testing new ways for users in India to confirm their age as it prepares to comply with upcoming legal requirements, including those related to the Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act, the Meta-owned messaging platform said on Tuesday.
The company, however, said the test is optional and users do not have to confirm their age to continue using WhatsApp. It also said users’ age information will remain private and will not be shared with others on the platform.
