Updated WhatsApp policy

1 pointngrj2 comments

I recently had a notification from WhatsApp about updated policy and asking me to check and agreed, usually I just agree but this time I checked it and found out a check box with text similar to "share your data with Facebook, to improve specific facebook ads towards you" I've unchecked it before agreeing.

I've a doubt though, if WhatsApp is sending end to end encrypted messages, how is it able to send data to Facebook? Or I don't understand the term end to end encrypted messages well?
