WhatsApp has announced that users who do not accept its planned privacy update by May 15 will not be able to experience full functionality of the app in a newly-released FAQ page.

While users can keep their account and continue to receive calls or notifications, they won’t be able to read or send messages on WhatsApp for a short period of time, the company said.
