If you think that whatsapp send your personal data to facebook, then belive me when Whatsapp is came under Facebook, its share your afew data to thier parent companies. At this time, you don't have much option to save your privacy.

If you use a 4G smartphone & social media apps then belive me or not, your privacy is not as secure as you think. All of the apps need more data because this users data is money for them.

Whatsapp or Facebook is not only users data storing app, Google is also store your much data.
