<p>When <a href="https://9to5mac.com/guides/facebook/" target="_blank">Facebook[/url] bought secure messaging app <a href="https://9to5mac.com/guides/whatsapp/" target="_blank">WhatsApp[/url] for $19B <a href="https://9to5mac.com/2014/02/19/facebook-acquires-whatsapp-messaging-service-for-16-billion/" target="_blank">back in 2014[/url], the company was careful to <a href="https://blog.whatsapp.com/529/Setting-the-record-straight" target="_blank">reassure[/url] users that its commitment to privacy would not be in any way compromised. WhatsApp has today <a href="https://www.whatsapp.com/legal?l=en" target="_blank">updated[/url] its privacy policy to allow it to share both phone numbers and analytics data with Facebook.</p>
