Change Summary
WhatsApp removed descriptive text from its Terms of Service navigation and header sections on July 12, 2026. The removed content consisted of feature descriptions (Messaging, Groups, Channels, Meta AI, Status, Security) and navigation links (Privacy, Help Center, Blog, For Business, Apps, Log in, Download) that appeared in the old version. The updated Terms of Service now displays a restructured navigation layout with the same functional links but without the accompanying feature descriptions.
