It stands to reason that for every WhatsApp conversation they'd have access to:
- who is communicating with whom,
- dates, times, and durations,
- method (text / voice / video),
- amount of data transferred,
- type of attachment if applicable, and
- location of each device,
along with unique device identifier, and perhaps other information.
See the Privacy International report[0] or video[1] on how much data FB glean from on other apps that merely use the Facebook SDK, each time an app that uses it it opened for a clue... how much more will they want from a service they paid billions for?
