WhatsApp for Android gets Facebook Messenger Rooms integration with beta update
The Messenger Rooms feature launched by Facebook last month went live a couple of days ago, and now it's being integrated into Facebook-owned WhatsApp.
According to a report by WABetaInfo, Facebook has integrated Messenger Rooms into WhatsApp for Android with the 2.20.163 beta update. The update brings a new "Room" option to the share menu inside the chat, which directs you to Messenger to create a room to have a group video call with up to 50 people.
The shortcut to creating a Messenger Room is also available in other parts of WhatsApp, like the Calls tab.

This feature is currently only available to a limited number of beta users in a few countries, including the US, but it should expand to more countries soon.
If you are interested in giving this feature a try, you can enroll in the beta program by heading this way, or simply download and install an apk of beta version 2.20.163 of WhatsApp for Android from a reliable source.

Read the whole thing, it does not (it says "Do not sell my personal info" at the bottom of the page but in the privacy policy it doesn't mention any data selling)

Look at the terms and condition of viber before you speak. It specially states that its can sell your data to any 3rd party. There I fixed this issue for you of viber been a privacy focused app.
