The Meta-owned messaging service said the pilot is designed to verify a user&#8217;s age in a privacy-protective manner and that participation in the test is voluntary.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"2\"\/>&#8220;To comply with upcoming laws in India like Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDP), we are testing privacy-protective ways for people to confirm their age. This doesn&#8217;t change how WhatsApp works or your experience. We understand that information about someone&#8217;s age is private and it won&#8217;t be shared with other WhatsApp users,&#8221; a WhatsApp spokesperson said.<\/p>\n<div class=\"LEzX4\">\n<div class=\"PmOGb\">\n<p class=\"PSf84\">Share your thoughts in the comments<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Insightful<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Agree<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Disagree<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Skeptical<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Concerning<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Promising<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Worth Reading<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Big Development<\/button><\/p>\n<p><textarea class=\"T9MbS\" rows=\"1\" placeholder=\"Add your Thoughts...\"\/><button type=\"button\" class=\"ZW6JD \" disabled=\"\">Post Comment<\/button><\/p>\n<p class=\"swnca\">Be respectful \u00b7 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.indiatimes.com\/termsandcondition\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" class=\"gkv0P\">TOI community guidelines<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"5\"\/>The company clarified that users do not have to confirm their age to continue using WhatsApp during the test.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"9\"\/>The development comes as digital platforms prepare for the implementation of the DPDP framework, which introduces stricter obligations for companies handling children&#8217;s personal data. Under the law, a child is defined as anyone below the age of 18, and companies processing children&#8217;s personal data are required to obtain verifiable parental consent and put in place safeguards to protect young users.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"11\"\/>WhatsApp has not disclosed how long the pilot will run or the specific methods being evaluated for age verification.
