What happens when WhatsApp’s new terms start on 15 May?

Messaging app will begin to turn off features until users agree to Facebook's updated terms of service

If you have not agreed to WhatsApp's controversial new terms of service by 15 May, the app will begin to turn off features until you do, Facebook announced in an update to its FAQ page.

At that point, the screen asking users to accept the terms of service set by Facebook, WhatsApp's parent company, will become permanent, with users needing to click through to directly use WhatsApp at all. Users will still be able to interact with the app in other ways for a few weeks", however, such as receiving calls, replying to messages, or responding to missed calls.
