WhatsApp users are going to have to make a big decision in the coming weeks. The Facebook-owned firm wants its billions of fans to accept new terms and those who don't comply will be blocked from sending or receiving any messages via the platform. The controversial update was initially planned to come into force back in January but after an outcry from users, WhatsApp pushed the changes back until May.
With that date looming it seems WhatsApp is now beginning to nudge some users that they need to start thinking about hitting the agree button. A number of WhatsApp fans have posted messages on social media in recent days after a pop-up message appeared when launching the chat app.
One post one Twitter shared an image of the alert which explains why WhatsApp is introducing the changes and also warned of the consequences of not agreeing. "Please accept these updates to continue using WhatsApp," the message reads.
WhatsApp recently posted a message on its website giving full details of what will happen after the May 15 deadline and how certain parts of the service will be blocked.
