One day in January, when starting WhatsApp, I received the following message:

Of course I immediately selected the NOT NOW button, as I don't want to receive Facebook's Ads on WhatsApp !!!

Today is February 9, 2021 and WhatsApp is still working fine on my Android phone. Furthermore I did not receive any further message.

By searching online, I discovered Facebook decided to postpone the merge Facebook-WhatsApp by moving forward the date to accept its new terms to May 15, 2021 .

Just wondering ... why Facebook did not inform me about this decision with a new message ?? Why do I have to discover it from internet ?

Mystery .....

07 March 2021

Little update: today morning a new message on WhatsApp appears: We're updating our terms and privacy policy. Tap to review.

Here are the screenshots of what comes next:

there is only one button: Accept!
