O Whatsapp had announced that users who did not accept its latest Privacy Policy their account would be blocked. However, it seems that the messenger will not apply this punishment, failing to demand the mandatory adherence to the terms.

Therefore, those who do not agree with WhatsApp's "Terms of Service" will remain active on the platform, with access to all the functionalities offered by the tool, without limitations in its use. Another novelty is that the other penalties for those who refused application conditions previously also been withdrawn.
Despite releasing the use of the application for those who do not accept the company's terms, the WABetaInfo website reported that refusal could negatively impact users with business profiles.
This is because many professional accounts that use Facebook's cloud providers will no longer receive messages from other users/customers. The case may compromise, for example, the service of profile accounts that use WhatsApp as a Customer Service (SAC).
Given this reason, the messenger, despite removing the suspensions, asks all users to accept the update, especially when they decide to use the optional features. One of them allows the user to communicate with a company that is being supported by Facebook.
For the time being, WhatsApp has yet to definitively comment on restrictions aimed at business profiles. Therefore, it is necessary to wait for the next decisions of the company related to the case.
