HOW TO AVOID SHARING YOUR WHATSAPP NUMBER WITH FACEBOOK
Until we receive the notification in which we accept the new terms of Whatsapp,we don't have to worry. Once it arrives, we must proceed as we comment below.
WhatsApp gives us 2 options when it comes to denying Facebook access to our phone number. First of all, when the notice appears in which we have to accept the terms and conditions, before accepting we have to click on the word "Read", which appears in blue.
After clicking on “READ”, you will see a button at the bottom of the screen. If you do not wish to share your account information with Facebook, you must uncheck the box.
Secondly, if we have already accepted the terms, we have 30 days from when we accept it, to be able to modify it manually. To do this, WhatsApp gives us the option to do it from the application settings.
Therefore, we go to the settings and click on the “Account” tab. Here several options will appear, among which is “Share my account information”.
Since we don't want them to share the information, what we have to do is uncheck this box and our information will automatically stop being public.
As of today we don't have this option in iOS , that doesn't mean that it won't appear in the next few days, when it appears we will inform you on our Twitter accounts so that you are Keep in mind.
