Starting August 25, 2016, the new policy allows WhatsApp to share your account info with Facebook, which the app claims is to improve advertisement and product experience on Facebook.
The new policy also states WhatsApp will start sharing some data with Facebook, which includes your mobile number. WhatsApp in an online FAQ said, “We will share some of your account information with Facebook and the Facebook family of companies, like the phone number you verified when you registered with WhatsApp, as well as the last time you used our service.”
But WhatsApp insists it won’t be sharing personal messages, chats, photos, videos sent on the app with Facebook.
However, for users who don’t want account information to be shared with Facebook, here are steps to follow -
Go to Settings -> Accounts -> Uncheck "Share My Number"
