WhatsApp has received a new update via the Google Play Beta Program, bringing the current version to 2.22.8.1.
What's new in this version of the game? In India, WhatsApp is working on a yearly reminder for its Terms of Service.
We can confirm that WhatsApp is intending to incorporate an annual reminder for their Terms of Service, based on evidence uncovered after installing the latest WhatsApp beta for Android 2.22.8.1 update. When the reminder is accessible, a green dot will appear in WhatsApp Settings, alerting users that something new has been added to the Help section:
After going to WhatsApp Settings > Help, the user will see a new option named "Yearly reminder of our Terms of Service," which will take them to a page on their website regarding Terms of Service. Note that this does not imply that WhatsApp intends to revise their Terms of Service: it's just a friendly reminder, and it has no impact on the privacy of your communications, which remain end-to-end encrypted. Furthermore, as mandated by India's Information Technology Rules 2021, the new reminder will only appear in India.
