How to opt out of sharing your WhatsApp info with Facebook

Or you can exercise the partial opt out WhatsApp is offering users for a short period of time.

WhatsApp has already started pushing out the updated terms and conditions. Learn more in Natasha Lomas' article at https://techcrunch.com/gallery/how-to-opt-out-of-sharing-your-whatsapp-info-with-facebook/.
