No point in ditching WhatsApp if you still use Insta and Facebook, says expert (msn.com)



If you are on Facebook and you have the Facebook app on your phone, deleting WhatsApp will do nothing. It will not increase or reduce the amount of data Facebook gets from you. Facebook gets far more data from its own app and Instagram than it does from WhatsApp.
