WhatsApp said it would delay the new policy launch to May from February amid backlash and confusion.

FILE PHOTO: The Whatsapp logo and binary cyber codes are seen in this illustration - Facebook Inc's WhatsApp is delaying an update aimed at increasing business transactions on the platform after a storm of concern from users who feared that the messaging platform was watering down its privacy policy in the process.

That sparked global outcries and a rush of new users to competitor private messaging apps including Telegram and Signal. Facebook has been rolling out business tools on WhatsApp over the past year as it moves to boost revenue from higher-growth units like WhatsApp and Instagram while knitting together e-commerce infrastructure across the company.The app already shares certain categories of personal data, including the user's phone number and IP address, with Facebook.
