WhatsApp keep postponing the date that all those who wish to continue using the popular messaging app must accept the new terms and conditions. Only time will tell when the real deadline will come and when it will come, you will have to decide whether to accept the new terms and conditions.
WhatsApp has already said that those who do not accept the new terms and conditions will have limited use of their app. What are those things that WhatsApp will no longer allow you to do if you do not accept? Can you continue to enjoy the application and not use these features? Let's see what you can't do if you don't accept.

No Access to Chats
One thing you won't be able to do if you don't accept is that you won't access your WhatsApp chats. So, if you have important information that you usually go back and check from time to time, it would be a good idea to save that text elsewhere or take a screenshot.
But an alternative solution could be to reply to WhatsApp messages via notifications. You will no longer be able to open the app to reply to messages. The same thing will also be for calls and video calls.
Calls and Notifications
If, after a few weeks, you still decide not to accept the new terms and conditions, you will no longer receive calls and notifications. If you barely use WhatsApp for calling, this might not be a big deal. The real problem is that you will no longer receive notifications, which means that you will miss important messages.
At first, WhatsApp will send out reminders to accept the new terms and conditions with the option to close the message by tapping the X. But, if you keep closing them, you will soon see how that X to close the reminder will disappear, leaving you only the option to accept the terms and conditions.
You may have heard that WhatsApp would close the accounts of those who did not accept. Well, there's no need to worry as WhatsApp won't do that.
In conclusion…
WhatsApp is the most popular messaging app around. Most people don't fully move to another similar app because most of their contacts are on WhatsApp. It's hard to get most of your contacts to switch to another messaging app, which is why many may feel they have no choice but to accept.
