April 17, 2021 by Arhama Altaf

If sharing sensitive information on WhatsApp makes you feel uncomfortable, try using the disappearing messages feature. But be cautious, there is a problem there as well.

Popular messaging application WhatsApp has intended to execute its new privacy policies, which ultimately triggered the users of the app.

The new WhatsApp policies also resulted in a digital mass-exodus, forcing WhatsApp users to shift to more secure apps such as Signal or Telegram.

Many users freaked out about their chats and data being shared with tech giant Facebook.

However, after the provoked hassle by users, the application pushed the dates for accepting the privacy policy to May 15.

It also reiterated what data it will be taking from its users, assuring them that their private chats with friends and family will remain protected by end-to-end encryption.

“The information we share with the other Facebook Companies includes your account registration information (such as your phone number), transaction data (for example, if you use Facebook Pay or Shops in WhatsApp), service-related information, information on how you interact with businesses when using our Services, mobile device information, your IP address, and may include other information identified in the Privacy Policy section entitled ‘Information We Collect’ or obtained upon notice to you or based on your consent,” WhatsApp said in a statement.

WhatsApp in its FAQs about the new privacy policy has stated that users have until May 15 to admit the new terms and conditions. If they fail to do so, the app will start to restrict its features for the users.

According to WABetainfo, “Web releases include all bug fixes implemented in the previous beta versions submitted to Play Store. It’s like a release candidate, a final beta.”

“If you are a beta tester, you shouldn’t update to 2.21.2.14, because it’s a build reserved to everyone,” it said.

“If you aren’t a beta tester and you would like to know if there is something new in the 2.21.2.14 update, you should visit the Android page,” it said.

Moreover, you can download the latest web release for Android from official WhatsApp website.

WhatsApp made an official announcement on its Twitter account, “Whatever you share on WhatsApp, stays between you. That’s because your personal messages are protected by end-to-end encryption and that will never change.”

January 21, 2021 by Arhama Altaf

Facebook-owned messaging application WhatsApp is here again with the latest update for its users with a brand new sticker pack.

WhatsApp has submitted a brand new replace via the Google Play Beta Programme — bringing the model as much as 2.21.2.10.

According to WABetaInfo, via the brand new replace, customers will probably be getting a brand new sticker pack, it mentioned, noting that the title of the pack is “Sumikkogurashi”.

WABetaInfo mentioned that the brand new sticker pack would roll out right now.

Earlier, Signal messaging platform received millions of new users after the recommendation from top businessman Elon Musk. Consequently, the app faced an outage due to a rush of new users.

Signal also gained attention from a lot of users after WhatsApp unveiled its new privacy policy. Some users reported messages failing to send on both mobile and desktop for hours on Friday.

However, the platform says it has resolved the technical issues. Signal said in a series of tweets that users might see errors in some of their chats, including missed messages, but this would not affect their security.

“Signal is back!” it said.

WhatsApp’s new privacy policy flamed controversies and several users switched to alternatives Signal and Telegram. The new policy update led several users to believe that they must allow it to share data with Facebook.

However, WhatsApp says the practice is not new and there are no changes to it.

WhatsApp said there had been “confusion” about its message, which initially gave people until 8 February to accept its updated terms or stop using the service.

WhatsApp has now changed the date to 15th May as it said it would use the time to clear up misinformation.
