Millions of WhatsApp users are abandoning the app & here's why

Millions of WhatsApp users have taken the drastic step of abandoning the app, following a poorly explained update to the terms and conditions.
Rival apps have gained many of these disgruntled users, with new figures shared by the UK parliament's home affairs committee on 'online harms' showing that Signal gained 7.5 million users in the first three weeks of the year, while Telegram gained a whopping 25 million. 
The mass exodus comes after WhatsApp alerted users to a change in its terms and conditions, according to Niamh Sweeney, the company's director of public policy for Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
