The user will be asked to accept new terms of service from Whatsapp in the coming weeks and European users will have to confirm that they’re at least 16 years of age. The current standard which requires users to be no younger than 13 years old will apply to everyone else not living in Europe. WhatsApp hasn’t said how it will be verifying users are reporting their real age.
