Why is "personal" present in that sentence?
EDIT
Finally, here's the real reason for the changes:
> "While not everyone shops with a business on WhatsApp today, we think that more people will choose to do so in the future and it’s important people are aware of these services."
My wife recently started to complain about the new instagram UI and that there are shops _everywhere_, and that the UI has reorganised buttons so people will find themselves at shops if they follow muscle memory.
Apparently that's the future of WhatsApp.
- deanstag 6y agoSpecifically to distinguish it from "business" conversations. A lot of my peer group missed that distinction in the whatsapp policy update.
- pmlnr 6y agoIs a group conversation personal? Who decides what is personal?
- deanstag 6y agoBusiness conversations are conversations between you and Whatsapp Business accounts. Everything else would be personal.
- pmlnr 6y ago> Everything else would be personal Is that written down anywhere?
- deanstag 6y agoNot specifically. I assumed the distinction from the two below. "We offer end-to-end encryption for our Services. End-to-end encryption means that your messages are encrypted to protect against us and third parties from reading them. Learn more about end-to-end encryption and how businesses communicate with you on WhatsApp." And the following link https://faq.whatsapp.com/general/security-and-privacy/end-to-end-encryption-for-business-messages https://faq.whatsapp.com/general/security-and-privacy/end-to...
- Fogest 6y agoOkay but my pharmacist has a WhatsApp business account you can communicate on. I would not call such a conversation non-personal, instead it is super personal. But based on what Facebook is saying this wouldn't fall under the "personal" category, and that is worrying.
