Changing WhatsApp’s Terms of Service has created a wave of problems. Users do not agree that their data is passed to Facebook and this leads to a migration and a massive event.
Aware of this situation, WhatsApp has taken a position that reveals a potential change. He decided to withdraw and postponed the effective date of the new rules. It is not known if anything else will change, but there will certainly be changes.
WhatsApp fell back in the application of measures
The date set for the entry into force of the new regulations was February 8. On that date, WhatsApp had programmed to block access to the accounts of all users who did not agree to accept the changes.
With that date approaching and with the confusion increasing, WhatsApp has now decided to postpone this moment. As announced, this process will be stopped for 3 months and only then will it be revealed what really will happen.
Thanks to everyone who reached out. We are still working to counter any confusion by contacting directly @WhatsApp users. No one will have their account suspended or deleted on February 8th and we will roll back our business plans until after May: https://t.co/H3DeSS0QfO

You have been trying to explain the measurements to users.
WhatsApp has also been deployed in statements to clearly reveal what these rules will bring. As has been revealed, there will be no changes to the data that is already shared with Facebook, that is, in regards to user information and their conversations.
The information that has been revealed accounts for the changes, which are focused on WhatsApp Business. The company shared that "the update includes new options that people will have when talking to companies on WhatsApp and will increase transparency about the collection and use of data."
We will ensure that users have enough time to review and understand the terms. Rest assured that we never plan to delete any accounts based on this and will not do so in the future.

Snoozing was the simplest solution of all
Even with this information, and some contrary external aids, users have chosen to abandon WhatsApp. They chose Telegram and Signal as their new messaging services, thanks to the security and privacy they offer.
It is still too early to know, but everything indicates that this change will have a negative impact on WhatsApp. The decision to leave appears to be final and users are unlikely to return. The stigma that Facebook has led mainly to this bad public image situation, which will be difficult to resolve.
