Chatting with a regular business account is just like how we chat with friends and family but in the case of 'special' business accounts that use cloud providers, there is a possibility of your chat being used to generate targeted advertisements on Facebook. There are two types of business accounts on WhatsApp - a regular business account and a special business account that uses cloud providers. The change, however, is with how you interact with WhatsApp business accounts. You can still use the app to chat, call or send voice notes to friends and family while keeping it private just how it used to be. Many users believe that accepting the new terms and conditions will allow Facebook to gather more of their data, but it's not the case.
