Joining the ranks of tech giants that have updated their privacy policy/platform to meet EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) guidelines, WhatsApp has today made its data download tool available to Android beta users.
WhatsApp Now Lets You Download Your Data Report [Urdu/Hindi/English Sub]
As mandated by GDPR, WhatsApp now lets you request your account information – minus all your messages because they're end-to-end encrypted and the messaging giant can't see them.
Note: I requested my account information report on WhatsApp (version 2.18.128) on my Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 running Android 8.1 Oreo custom ROM.
As you can see below, I already got my data report and it doesn't take much time for WhatsApp to compile. It did say that the report could take up to a day or more to become available, but it only took a couple of hours. You should receive a message saying "Your account information request is ready to download" when it is done.
