Change Summary
WhatsApp's Terms of Service underwent a detected update on July 17, 2026, though the substantive change to the document text is minimal. The primary modification appears to be a formatting and navigation restructuring of the header and navigation elements, with the removal of a 'Log In' link from the initial navigation and its reinsertion elsewhere. The core terms of service language, effective date (January 4, 2021), and legal provisions remain substantively unchanged. This appears to be a formatting or site reorganization change rather than a material modification to consumer rights or obligations.
