It's funny how you claim the regulations are "very vague" but then say WhatsApp has everything in some terms of service, which are the opposite of specific.
The official ToS themselves actually don't contain any information about their data collection, it's basically just a link to their privacy guidelines. Those privacy guidelines, in summary, just say "we collect information about how you use WhatsApp so we can improve our services". No word about what information they collect exactly, in what ways it is processed and linked with other data, what kind of meta-information they extract from it, nothing.
The GDPR is only vague for organisations that go as close to the edge of legality as possible.
