Do you know if any commercial service operator has already asked to have access to apis?

sideload for ! Rather than sending you to our page on the MS store, The download link on https://www.whatsapp.com/download/ now provides an executable that will download and install the app for you.

Edit: changed wording to clarify that this is not an offline installer.

WhatsApp goes down in Meta’s second big outage this year.

@TechCrunch reports: "Users are also reporting issues accessing Instagram and Messenger, according to social media posts and crowdsourced reporting sites like Downdector."

Warum Whatsapp auf vielen Smartphones bald anders aussieht

Bisher ist Whatsapp zumindest optisch nicht gleich Whatsapp: Das Design der Android-Version unterscheidet sich deutlich von dem der iOS-Version. Mit der aktuellen Version des Messengerdienstes soll sich das endlich ändern. Verabschiedet euch ganz langsam schon mal von den typisch grünen Menüleisten.

Es curioso como cambian las cosas. Si bien en 2021 salía un documento, presuntamente del FBI, poniendo a #Telegram por encima de #Signal y #Threema en cuestión de privacidad porque la compañía siempre se niega a colaborar con las autoridades y porque por mucho que se teorice sobre sus debilidades no han llegado a hackearlo, lo que sí hackearon los rusos fueron smartphones específicos, probablemente con algun malware como Pegasus (o infiltrándose en chats grupales), para acceder a conversaciones.

En conclusión, sí. Cosas como #Whatsapp, #Avast, e #EasyAntiCheat son menos seguras que muchas de sus alternativas, pero también hay que cuidar otros factores.

No podemos quejarnos de nuestro sistema de seguridad cuando somos nosotros quienes dejamos la puerta abierta.

La mejor seguridad y privacidad provienen de educarse sobre el tema y mantener una disciplina al respecto. Y aun así siempre habrán riesgos que se deben saber reconocer y mitigar.

Bei ca.. Minute 36: zumindest das #BSI engagiert sich dafür, dass die gängigen #Messenger wie #Signal, #Threema und Co. untereinander verschlüsselt Nachrichten austauschen sollen.

Wer glaubt, dass - falls sie sich auf einen Standard einigen - diese dann der sicherste von allen sein wird?

Heute und morgen könnt ihr Threema kostenlos bekommen.

CrowdTangle, a digital tool considered vital in tracking viral falsehoods, will be decommissioned by Facebook owner Meta in a major election year — a move researchers fear will disrupt efforts to detect an expected firehose of political misinformation. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2024/04/01/companies/meta-monitoring-tool-election/ #business #companies #crowdtangle #meta #facebook #us #socialmedia #whatsapp #instagram #fakenews #misinformation

Can't be repeated enough, quit whatsapp where you can, use signal. It's great, very secure, opensource, not tied to #bigtech , non-profit etc.

@ErikJonker Moving from whatsap to signal is a good step. Moving to Element (Matrix protocol) an even better one. Because:

  1. Signal is still US-based so similarly conflicted wrt eu-us diclosure- an privacylaws. Element/Matrix is EU based.
  2. Matrix network is distributed by design (like mastodon) and has fully open api for any third-party client (like mastodon)

What’sApp started out as a way to display status messages next to people’s names in a phone’s contacts list. Fifteen years later, the app has become a lot more, Pranav Dixit writes in an article for Engadget. Among other things, Dixit calls What’sApp “an integral part of the propaganda machinery of political parties in India and Brazil, a way for millions of businesses to reach customers..."

Tras lo sucedido en es admirable ver la cantidad de personas con el valor y mente inquieta suficientes para usar algo que no sea .

Si bien tiene funciones muy útiles por las que lo he recomendado como alternativa para quienes ven bien tener su mensajería instantánea ligada a su número de teléfono (lo ideal es que no), iniciativas como la me parecen nefastas de cara a la mayoría de usuarios y una excusa para abaratar costes del servicio.

Algunas #alternativas a #Meta:

#RayBanStories 👉 action cam
#HorizonWorlds 👉 Mozilla Hubs
#Workplace 👉 Matrix (Element)

Meta is adding phone home functionality to #WhatsApp so it can add an #AI chatbot. What could possibly go wrong?

Remember Cambridge Analytica. Stop using #Meta products. Just switch to @signalapp . Most people have done so already and are only forced to keep WhatsApp for the stragglers.

So, I've been arguing with myself over whether I should resurrect my #Telegram account or not. From various sources, I get the impression that their platform isn't all that secure despite their claims. If memory serves, one of the sources said they wouldn't trust it with anything more than a casual conversation, and definitely wouldn't trust it with more sensitive topics. I'm not interested in using #Meta services, so things like #Messenger & #WhatsApp are not options I'd consider. At this point, my messaging options are #Signal and #Matrix even though the latter isn't the most #accessible option. Heck, when you get down to it, the former has a few accessibility annoyances on #Android which is the mobile platform I use. Decisions, decisions...

@dansup @pixelfed #Facebook made #WhatsApp block links to #Telegram in 2016: https://www.androidpolice.com/2016/09/09/whatsapp-is-blocking-telegram-links-in-the-android-app/

This was not a bug. It took getting caught and called out by tech press for them to quietly back this out.

Kleines Projekt für den Sonntag Abend: Schreibe Deinen 10 oder 20 wichtigsten WhatsApp-Kontakten, dass Du ab jetzt gern bevorzugt Signal nutzen würdest. Meine Erfahrung ist: Natürlich gibt es vereinzelt Unverständnis, aber man findet auch immer jemanden, der schon längst gerne wechseln wollte und sich nicht zu fragen traute.

Traut Euch! 😄

P.S. Denkt dran, Euren Signal-Nutzernamen mitzuteilen.
