Good News: WhatsApp To Extend Support For Older Devices To June 2017

In February this year, WhatsApp announced it was dropping support for older devices and platforms by the end of the year. This meant versions of BlackBerry OS, older versions of Android and Windows Phone will no longer be supported come 2017. 
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoYTYkB7qpM109Wo1c662ZKHFw5tZstsZmP9mMaJDnaIm_u2LVwYL9qOAJn3oKIllveOMBVovWMlSLV3GL9PsJboBw9Psddnk2rAiH0-XTY86ZpTwP_y4VtHF8SvydUeCl8mpFAFQkM-_1/s1600/WhatsApp-video-calling.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="284" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoYTYkB7qpM109Wo1c662ZKHFw5tZstsZmP9mMaJDnaIm_u2LVwYL9qOAJn3oKIllveOMBVovWMlSLV3GL9PsJboBw9Psddnk2rAiH0-XTY86ZpTwP_y4VtHF8SvydUeCl8mpFAFQkM-_1/s320/WhatsApp-video-calling.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>In the announcement, older versions of Android, 2.1 (Eclair) and 2.2 (Froyo) were no longer to be supported while users of Nokia’s old and abandoned Symbian were also to face the axe as Series 40 and Series 60 support was to end. Microsoft’s ill-fated Windows Phone 7.1 was set to join the short list of platforms that WhatsApp no longer deems meaningful. While Blackberry 7 OS and Blackberry 10 devices were also to be phased off. 
 
Following the announcement, an online petition was created on petition platform change.org seeking to convince Facebook, the owners of WhatsApp, to reverse its decision to drop support for these platforms. Touting WhatsApp’s new status as “the de facto standard for mobile communication”, the petition stateD that more than 10 million users would be affected when WhatsApp ends support for the old platforms. 
 
However, Crackberry reports that WhatsApp has changed its mind and that these devices will continue to receive Support until June 30th 2017. In the announcement which was posted with the latest update of the App to Blackberry 10 users, WhatsApp says: 
 
As announced in our blog, we will soon be ending support for certain devices. On June 30, 2017, we will no longer support the following platforms: 
<ul><li>BlackBerry OS and BlackBerry 10</li>
<li>Nokia S40</li>
<li>Nokia Symbian S60</li>
</ul>However, support for Android 2.1 and Android 2.2; Windows Phone 7 and iPhone 3GS/iOS 6 will end on 31st December 2016. In the statement WhatsApp says these platforms no longer offer the capabilities necessary to extand the app’s feaures in future. The messaging services further advises users to upgrade to newer versions of Android OS (2.3+, a Windows 8+ phone, or an iPhone running iOS 7+ before the end of 2016 to continue using WhatsApp.

WhatsApp Has Launched Video Call To Everyone

Video calling has become quite the standard on messaging platforms and WhatsApp was only the big boy left that didn’t offer this feature to all of its users. Not any more, as they have finally launched video calling to anyone, which will sure make the over a billion of its users happy.
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJd2DcpETldyzg7jBEwa7H-ANA2iCdkEb5YDYpg9nxve2lH5FK3X5v-EkvypGkJ6nh4bPq31bkjcG2I0xxPih6kAhfXinBceBQpU_dT2KOhJjOoLn9jAumdiddzpc3MxI6OTplK51Ie5AZ/s1600/%255BUNSET%255D.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJd2DcpETldyzg7jBEwa7H-ANA2iCdkEb5YDYpg9nxve2lH5FK3X5v-EkvypGkJ6nh4bPq31bkjcG2I0xxPih6kAhfXinBceBQpU_dT2KOhJjOoLn9jAumdiddzpc3MxI6OTplK51Ie5AZ/s320/%255BUNSET%255D.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
The rumours of the feature started last year which later on became serious when we noticed that they had launched it late last month to beta Android users. At the time, it was quite hard to make a video call to someone on WhatsApp (unless they had the specific version) but now, you will be able after updating your current apps.

Making a video call is as easy as making the traditional voice calls WhatsApp announced earlier too. When you want to make a video call, you only need to go to the specific contact, tap on the call button, select video call and right away, you will be connected to the person. If you are not able to make the video call, one of the reasons is that the recipient has not yet updated his/her app so you can go ahead and advise.

This move will now make WhatsApp catch up with Facebook Messenger and Viber which have had the feature for a while now. This is also being released to other platforms like iOS and Windows Phone which will join Facetime and Skype that are owned by Apple and Microsoft respectively. The only thing remaining is comparing the var

WhatsApp Is Testing A Snapchat Story-like Revamp For Status Updates

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmGwuu8u1Tl9Hi54Zoeg_zWANGKtmhqRyOD6L0xyXratjH0KGHI97i4n-MbsjrkvuJZyokredIt-iyGktLfH24x8L4JcJxIXlhxcQAkdc03emUd7t2X9Xbl9wnRUYlNvRjiCilposWLPLd/s1600/Whatsapp1-1-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="196" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmGwuu8u1Tl9Hi54Zoeg_zWANGKtmhqRyOD6L0xyXratjH0KGHI97i4n-MbsjrkvuJZyokredIt-iyGktLfH24x8L4JcJxIXlhxcQAkdc03emUd7t2X9Xbl9wnRUYlNvRjiCilposWLPLd/s320/Whatsapp1-1-1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>WhatsApp has accumulated a sizable active user base of a billion and it needs to periodically add new features so that it doesn’t become redundant. The messaging app world is very competitive and it has resulted in them copying features between one another in order to survive. 
 
WhatsApp is not new in copying features from other messaging apps. They copied Snapchat’s Snap camera layout just recently and it seems they are not done copying them. According to WABetaInfo, there is a new tab on WhatsApp that allows you to publish status updates. 
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEha705tL03zeqYe4qS6AwVYPyAOx_W37SO3j4f-sNYI9EEVU4_83lMX_-C_K5BfUaUjJN3fqvmkQIsXgfM3O2OS-_oshfamQZXUfeT9D4rKKnMFsyIR3sXti9CLvjVe8tcqYWoO4-sxI8CQ/s1600/whatsapp-status-update-tab.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEha705tL03zeqYe4qS6AwVYPyAOx_W37SO3j4f-sNYI9EEVU4_83lMX_-C_K5BfUaUjJN3fqvmkQIsXgfM3O2OS-_oshfamQZXUfeT9D4rKKnMFsyIR3sXti9CLvjVe8tcqYWoO4-sxI8CQ/s320/whatsapp-status-update-tab.jpg" width="180" /></a></div>From the screenshot above, you can see that the new ‘status’ bar has been placed between the chats and calls bar. A report done by Tech2 reveals how the new status update refresh looks like: 
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdQcwW4bj-IyL9dpi-9u8tjRNQftBREIe_eGK941gCpXQFc-X4bx9JAxrNRUN_tgxXzta2UqUrXq4gaGj5imaPsCQuoWpHJ2A88FaVPGLie35cNNN248g4rQ4AxBEJjxnvGMjEonGTq35t/s1600/whatsapp-status-update-screenshot.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdQcwW4bj-IyL9dpi-9u8tjRNQftBREIe_eGK941gCpXQFc-X4bx9JAxrNRUN_tgxXzta2UqUrXq4gaGj5imaPsCQuoWpHJ2A88FaVPGLie35cNNN248g4rQ4AxBEJjxnvGMjEonGTq35t/s320/whatsapp-status-update-screenshot.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>Fro the above screenshot, when you tap on the “add status” icon which is between the search and options button on the middle screenshot, you will be ushered in a camera UI, which looks like the one WhatsApp launched recently. You will be able to take a photo by hitting the virtual shutter or holding it to take a video, add a Snapchat like caption marquee, add doodles on it in various colours and when you tap on the ‘send’ button on the bottom right, it will be sent as a status message. The whole system ha been shamelessly copied from Snapchat and WhatsApp is not even hiding the fact. 
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgOuptEJDWL7zFfaCP557Kj9BxAxbSEXUbZZkQ8MDMjIK1gQyy321mSc4dz33z_T5a7DaTePud11bEXqpT7E4aR0kPOCvyWkO_7SYXM-DaAmBartpus4Xtt3cru7XdnSIFGA3qiIpgTERz/s1600/2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgOuptEJDWL7zFfaCP557Kj9BxAxbSEXUbZZkQ8MDMjIK1gQyy321mSc4dz33z_T5a7DaTePud11bEXqpT7E4aR0kPOCvyWkO_7SYXM-DaAmBartpus4Xtt3cru7XdnSIFGA3qiIpgTERz/s320/2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>This is very reminiscent of what Snapchat does with Stories where you take a photo or video and post it for your friends to see. WhatsApp seems to be keen on copying this strategy for its users so that they can continue using the messaging app which is becoming a trend of late. This feature apparently is on the public betas of both the iOS and Android app (ver. 2.16.366 for Android) and I’m yet to see it on my beta Android app which is same version as the one highlighted.

WhatsApp for Android Beta Now Has GIF Support

Back in June, a changelog revealed several features that were dormant within the WhatsApp for iOS which included such features like temporary group participants, video calling and GIF support. It was only a matter of time for them to be activated from the server side and we are now seeing that for GIFs. 
 
GIFs are one of the oldest form of media that have been used in the World Wide Web and have only become more entrenched in our day to day activities in various social networks. WhatsApp is a pretty big social network on its own and the lack of GIFs was downright embarrassing. 
 
Well, we can put that aside as now WhatsApp has activated GIF support as shown from the beta version of the WhatsApp for Android. My current beta version is 2.16.290 and it shows the new GIF support. 
 
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5gHOFiEuTnvEdTZ1jqkuemHaJmUCI2DZoHu9oHLrEi4NCn8JtDFgHTAQXVVMveEvc_yINg7dhDCAmnexIA4dxfPvQNexbB2anW_bI7Xx9uDm8ZJP2vWH7jsZZfsGg5VfyCb15OrlRvlZT/s1600/WhatsApp-GIF-1.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="179" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5gHOFiEuTnvEdTZ1jqkuemHaJmUCI2DZoHu9oHLrEi4NCn8JtDFgHTAQXVVMveEvc_yINg7dhDCAmnexIA4dxfPvQNexbB2anW_bI7Xx9uDm8ZJP2vWH7jsZZfsGg5VfyCb15OrlRvlZT/s320/WhatsApp-GIF-1.png" width="320" /></a></div>
 
 
WhatsApp has decided to give GIFs a special tab under the attachment menu which is rather interesting. When you open a chat and you would like to send a GIF, just tap on the attachment menu (has a paperclip icon), click on gallery and you will be able to see the new GIF tab. This will make it easy for you to find the GIFs that you have in your gallery easy to find which is awesome. You can now go ahead and send a GIF to your friend to make those chats way more lively. 
 
Since this feature has appeared on the beta channel, you can expect it to be on the way to the general public in the future. This is a better late than never case for WhatsApp but they have to put in effort since the likes of Telegram have cool GIF integration which is yet to be bested due to its speed.

WhatsApp Is Now Rolling Out The New Snapchat-like Camera Interface

A month ago, it was spotted that WhatsApp was testing a new camera interface in its app which looked oddly similar to what Snapchat offers. WhatsApp and other companies with messaging apps have noticed how Snapchat’s implementation has made it so popular and ended up imitating the same functionality in their camera user interfaces. 
 
Well WhatsApp has made that test official where you can now use the new camera interface we had the opportunity to see a while back. “With WhatsApp’s new camera features, you can now write or draw on photos and videos, as well as add emoji to express yourself,’ the company said in a blogpost. 
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_u4gtMbnodhgqi4dmBA99mOz4YOkOmTj3Iape2_GoLC-eZt_RLuO7vTd6-SKUsZc20SYAUOt3-Qhzp1F-EFHF0Z8l6PL_keUzQSxTfK9CuygbVb1lUZQIZ1zbhKkZi_e1p-BHFxnB6yWm/s1600/whatsapp.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="139" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_u4gtMbnodhgqi4dmBA99mOz4YOkOmTj3Iape2_GoLC-eZt_RLuO7vTd6-SKUsZc20SYAUOt3-Qhzp1F-EFHF0Z8l6PL_keUzQSxTfK9CuygbVb1lUZQIZ1zbhKkZi_e1p-BHFxnB6yWm/s320/whatsapp.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
 
Just like how you use the Snap interface, after taking a photo or video, you can add a text, big emojis or doodles. These text captions or doodles can be typed or written in a variety of colours and specifically on texts, you can magnify them (by doing a pinch to zoom gesture) or drag them around the interface. The zooming feature also applies for videos where you only need to slide your finger up and down. They have also added another handy gesture where you only need to quickly double tap the screen in the camera UI to switch between the selfie and primary cameras. Finally, they’ve added a “front-facing flash” which is the same implementation of what we saw with Apple for their iOS devices where the screen will light up and act as a flash. 
 
This comes at a time when Messenger has also been reported testing a similar feature for Messenger and shows how Snapchat has managed to influence these huge platforms in adopting an emoji-sticker-doodle like camera interface.This feature is currently being rolled out to Android phones first and to iPhones later on.

WhatsApp Users Will Soon Get an Extra Layer of Security with Addition of Passcode Protection Feature

There are several applications that one can install on their smartphone regardless of whichever platform they are on (Android, iOS, BlackBerry, Windows…) to restrict access to certain apps to only when a password or PIN is provided. 
 
Some application developers have even gone an extra step to include similar features in their applications. Apps like Safaricom M-Ledger, KCB Mobile Banking and Tala, for instance, request a 4-digit PIN every time you launch them. Guess which major app will be going that route soon a 
Such a move will be a big plus to the Facebook-owned popular messaging app more so in the wake of the blowback occasioned by Google’s decision to force users to choose between convenience and privacy in what was supposed to be a killer new age chat app, Allo. Not that WhatsApp has not endured its fair share of privacy concerns since it was acquired by Facebook 2 years ago. Its latest move to grant Facebook access to sensitive user data in order to make better friend suggestions and serve up the right ads was met by scores of concerns for user privacy with many advising others to not opt in to the arrangement.

By offering an easy way through which every WhatsApp user can add an extra layer of protection to their WhatsApp chats in case a third party happened to pick their device, WhatsApp will be calming a lot of nerves. 
 
Like the dreaded Android lock screen patterns and PINs, adding passcode protection to an app used by over a billion people regularly presents another kind of risk: users being locked out of their WhatsApp accounts if they forget their passcodes. To avert this, WhatsApp is reportedly exploring the idea of optionally allowing users to add email addresses through which they can recover any forgotten passcodes. 
 
Normally, this is where I remind all WhatsApp users how this has always been a feature on rival feature-rich messaging app Telegram for like forever (one can even set up a fingerprint to unlock the app on devices with fingerprint sensors) but I’ll let them be under my new “live and let live” approach.

WhatsApp for Android Now Has a Snapchat-ish Camera Interface, Big Emojis And More

WhatsApp developers keep adding new features on the app in iterative updates and although most of them are bug fixes, some usually come with interesting new features. This time round they have copied Snapchat’s Snap UI and it is not surprising at all. 
 
The first change is with the WhatsApp camera interface and it starkly reminds you of Snapchat. 
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwTnbqa-H6Zyu6SJ3y3CiXzMMHtqZti_4jYCkwjufks7iplVqzDw412WM_qEvLzdINuQm5dR5_aOveQr_41jKbin9-4vlDAnCyL89Thioe6UwNrte_q2uNhWhqGxK8CkaV2CRzQ_CqMdBc/s1600/WhatsApp-new-camera-UI.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="189" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwTnbqa-H6Zyu6SJ3y3CiXzMMHtqZti_4jYCkwjufks7iplVqzDw412WM_qEvLzdINuQm5dR5_aOveQr_41jKbin9-4vlDAnCyL89Thioe6UwNrte_q2uNhWhqGxK8CkaV2CRzQ_CqMdBc/s320/WhatsApp-new-camera-UI.png" width="320" /></a></div>When you open the WhatsApp camera and take a photo, you will be greeted with the new options at the top which join the crop button. The new buttons are the sticker button, add text button and draw button. Just as the name says, when you tap the sticker button, a list of emoji stickers will appear for you to choose; the text button allows you to add a text and the draw button enables you to draw doodles with the colour(s) of your choice. You will be able to see this changes in version 2.16.262 and also 2.16.263 if you are a beta user. 
 
The second major feature is the Big emojis which are just inflated versions of the standard emojis, presumably to have a bigger ‘effect’ on the recipient. I was not able to see this on my ver. 2.16.263 but Android Police were able to spot them on an earlier version (v. 2.16.256) 
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8bFAjSigcJG5iJMN7wHnWutYAZW-IKLZpy-aDlntFCjq-bjEJewKpBb-CfbwnQGXa-b0gOVzUdGCoBZ32aUZa3KT0fTVv3yl1jwo4SyFkFAeWnShnAsOo2F4y2QvYSFaQXr2XdKr6cNDf/s1600/whatsapp-big-emoji.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8bFAjSigcJG5iJMN7wHnWutYAZW-IKLZpy-aDlntFCjq-bjEJewKpBb-CfbwnQGXa-b0gOVzUdGCoBZ32aUZa3KT0fTVv3yl1jwo4SyFkFAeWnShnAsOo2F4y2QvYSFaQXr2XdKr6cNDf/s320/whatsapp-big-emoji.png" width="180" /></a></div> 
The last new change is a surprising one and it is the return of hyperlinks that originate from Telegram Messenger. If you can remember, WhatsApp had intentionally made links that originate from Telegram appear as text rather than hyperlinks which was rather pointless to be honest. It seems they noticed that and it is now back! 
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxASo_EhRZdydFSWAh2woc5EPOsdZ80r3uDlnswWHq4rECHy2sNPKhYejdJ6sl8AvKr-l9KAbdSmiBCbUanlF-N3yDVyPEQnm3jYyC3_AZbsz8EthGH5gGaR7wf32H-3wNRnZL5Xypyqjs/s1600/photo_2016-09-09_20-59-35.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxASo_EhRZdydFSWAh2woc5EPOsdZ80r3uDlnswWHq4rECHy2sNPKhYejdJ6sl8AvKr-l9KAbdSmiBCbUanlF-N3yDVyPEQnm3jYyC3_AZbsz8EthGH5gGaR7wf32H-3wNRnZL5Xypyqjs/s320/photo_2016-09-09_20-59-35.jpg" width="180" /></a></div>

WhatsApp Gave Two Ways for You To Opt Out From Sharing Your Account Info

We tend to breeze past the terms and conditions of any application we install but there are hidden gems inside those lengthy publications. One of these “gems” can be found on WhatsApp’s Terms and Conditions and it involves yesterday’s decision by the company to share its data with its parent company, Facebook in order to serve ads.

Before you agree to WhatsApp terms, go and tap “Read More about the key updates to our Terms and Privacy Policy” which brings up the following message: 
 
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0UTSdLTGcXnZAEt7QR5h8Viy0QbJFcAkIfghyphenhyphenHwG5oL1yB7xQfne_2M07IG-_PqsThumQ56JKzc6pe6sCepGwXqYddL40BecajOQxn7RxBzKyhJSFXd77WhyphenhyphenZ4yCjXS4FoeBnRlE7bXdM/s1600/f6b9fb0d5667c84f47ce0c58dc58b283076bf851.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="243" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0UTSdLTGcXnZAEt7QR5h8Viy0QbJFcAkIfghyphenhyphenHwG5oL1yB7xQfne_2M07IG-_PqsThumQ56JKzc6pe6sCepGwXqYddL40BecajOQxn7RxBzKyhJSFXd77WhyphenhyphenZ4yCjXS4FoeBnRlE7bXdM/s320/f6b9fb0d5667c84f47ce0c58dc58b283076bf851.jpg" width="320" /></a></div> 
If you uncheck that option of sharing your Whatsapp data with Facebook, your chats and phone number will not be shared with Facebook as per the company. 
 
The second option of preventing WhatsApp from sharing your data with Facebook involves going to your settings. 
 
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6ej2cQPOGPhxqJmwfMGUelO-v9YNra3xaIrq7ji3q9mFLnCw6csEQ39pzfNd3OU58NYRESSAydW-b4ZMG69OHJkLtC6kzW2_g1m-dzih9LEB-mkZ05rHGdd_9tsMB-y6fYWxIro0R04b2/s1600/share-my-account-info-with-facebook.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6ej2cQPOGPhxqJmwfMGUelO-v9YNra3xaIrq7ji3q9mFLnCw6csEQ39pzfNd3OU58NYRESSAydW-b4ZMG69OHJkLtC6kzW2_g1m-dzih9LEB-mkZ05rHGdd_9tsMB-y6fYWxIro0R04b2/s320/share-my-account-info-with-facebook.jpg" width="190" /></a></div> 
When you go to Settings > Account > Share my account info, you will be able to uncheck that option of sharing your account information. Interesting enough, when you uncheck that option, WhatsApp bombards you with this notice: 
 
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0MDzOxgC-nKdtCekqjhFt0zmDtsBDPLPRVKl_Igp7FwW3i9mUNufGuxxVwKsJzsUHGprGJQXclEcXhY9ncHPSuERoG8omduwp8ZkwQ_ii13Hl3cGuNY_46fdvZ0qJ3lpWU7vVjxA7eoRB/s1600/photo_2016-08-26_12-23-02.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0MDzOxgC-nKdtCekqjhFt0zmDtsBDPLPRVKl_Igp7FwW3i9mUNufGuxxVwKsJzsUHGprGJQXclEcXhY9ncHPSuERoG8omduwp8ZkwQ_ii13Hl3cGuNY_46fdvZ0qJ3lpWU7vVjxA7eoRB/s320/photo_2016-08-26_12-23-02.jpg" width="180" /></a></div> 
The notice advises you in the event you uncheck the option, you will not be able to change this in the future which is frankly something you can live with. WhatsApp also explains that in the event you agreed to their updated terms and condition, you have 30 days to uncheck the “share my account info.”

WhatsApp to Share Your Phone Number with Facebook

A while back. Facebook made a $19 Billion offer to acquire instant messaging service WhatsApp. Following the acquisition, the majority of users worried that WhatsApp would begin sharing their data with Facebook. WhatsApp CEO responded to these claims stating the company had no such intention in a blog post. An excerpt of the blog post stated 
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh91usvR47jKwNEbST1GRmpbRaTGEQ6RkRAKIJEnRjwixvCO4-nhX3UqMH32oSkG6vzclXSaCsV0lLtf6VVdeVVuqjYTKE1PX2p47z9jdtf_urXdaevFyyMnfDWiKjYb0ArWwyJnAxNWBQK/s1600/WhatsApp-quick-reply.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="285" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh91usvR47jKwNEbST1GRmpbRaTGEQ6RkRAKIJEnRjwixvCO4-nhX3UqMH32oSkG6vzclXSaCsV0lLtf6VVdeVVuqjYTKE1PX2p47z9jdtf_urXdaevFyyMnfDWiKjYb0ArWwyJnAxNWBQK/s320/WhatsApp-quick-reply.png" width="320" /></a></div>Respect for your privacy is coded into our DNA, and we built WhatsApp around the goal of knowing as little about you as possible: You don’t have to give us your name and we don’t ask for your email address. We don’t know your birthday. We don’t know your home address. We don’t know where you work. We don’t know your likes, what you search for on the internet or collect your GPS location. None of that data has ever been collected and stored by WhatsApp, and we really have no plans to change that. 
 
In a blog post, WhatsApp says it will soon allow Facebook to access your phone number. The move means that soon users will begin to see more ads on Facebook based on their behavior from WhatsApp, though the messaging service will not offer any ads itself. Part of the blog post reads: By connecting your phone number with Facebook’s systems, Facebook can offer better friend suggestions and show you more relevant ads if you have an account with them. For example, you might see an ad from a company you already work with, rather than one from someone you’ve never heard of. 
 
Facebook has been looking for ways to monetize WhatsApp with some of the suggestions revolving around making WhatsApp a CRM tool for businesses. WhatsApp says that messages will remain private and that they will not sell user data to advertisers. The company, however, says the increased collaboration with Facebook will allow them to track basic metrics about how often people use their services and better fight spam on WhatsApp.

WhatsApp deleted Messages are actually not Deleted, Data found in Encryption Checks

ecurity concerns are most common when it comes to messaging applications and hence these concerns are no exceptions with WhatsApp as well. Previously we heard a lot of them, and now according to some new reports, it looks like the WhatsApp texts are not completely deleted even when you clear, erase or archive everything. This is an interesting information to know since it is necessary to know everything about something that everybody uses on a daily basis on millions of iOS devices. 
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGcqXsOjnQ32pwXvHhf-7vbqVmRZuEtB_ovLsw_orv6etDZTr5wBspwhxyBirElkOYeJF2XfXxUWAFzuoQRX1Y9SrSvUvyafvcwa4_sCY8FXW4soSlHoTOc60YY9ASygF4HvYbFuvCoDWj/s1600/AddTextToPhoto%252830-6-2016-11-20-16%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGcqXsOjnQ32pwXvHhf-7vbqVmRZuEtB_ovLsw_orv6etDZTr5wBspwhxyBirElkOYeJF2XfXxUWAFzuoQRX1Y9SrSvUvyafvcwa4_sCY8FXW4soSlHoTOc60YY9ASygF4HvYbFuvCoDWj/s1600/AddTextToPhoto%252830-6-2016-11-20-16%2529.jpg" /></a></div>
 
 
So according to this report, if you are deleting a text, clearing a chat or maybe archiving them, don’t be under the impression that it cannot be tracked or traced again. Few experts set out to run some encryption test and they found out that the app leaves forensic traces of all of your chats. Apparently, the only way to completely get rid of these chats etc. is to delete the app entirely. 
 
It is actually a common problem when it comes to any application that uses SQLite. The reason being, SQLite does not wipe out the databases. So what happens here is, when it is deleted it goes into a “free list”. Apple’s iMessage has this problem and it’s just as bad, if not worse. This is something that Apple has struggled with a lot previously as well. 
 
What does it mean & should you be concerned? 
 
Law enforcement can potentially issue a warrant with Apple to obtain any deleted chats, text messages from it etc. 
Also, anyone with physical access to your computer could copy this data from an existing, unencrypted backup, or potentially decrypt it using some password breaking tools etc. There are countless opportunities like this. 
Well, should you be worried? Not exactly. But this is definitely something to be aware of especially when we use these applications on a daily basis and it revolves around our personal data. 
 
Can this be fixed? 
 
This is an issue about which the software developers should be aware of and design the code accordingly. So more or less, it is based on the design choices of the developer. But still, there are a number of ways through which WhatsApp could fix this issue if they decide to do it in future updates maybe. Considering the fact that the company pushes updates to its application on a timely basis, this should be sorted soon. They recently released a beta version with new features like the callback and voice mail. You can also send bigger sized emojis on iOS devices. However, we still don’t have confirmation about what the developers will be doing on this issue. But we can expect something soon in the near future, so stay tuned for more info on this.

See The Reason Why WhatsApp has been Blocked in Brazil for the Third Time in One Year

WhatsApp is a really popular chatting platform in Brazil but it is not that popular with the authorities as reports indicate it has been blocked again in the country. 
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBysG6b_KInHfogjdcZ9nUDxcP9V5gwKGZph0Gl8z2Bb5-mRKIyvPvCP-wKIPXnzJS0D_mnIYlV5oXbqQKncNxCPGbsPxSzn59aeZFRYz0G0fcUMlafNuj8C_ka_lyhouyvPx1ZtEokGEf/s1600/Whatsapp11-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="245" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBysG6b_KInHfogjdcZ9nUDxcP9V5gwKGZph0Gl8z2Bb5-mRKIyvPvCP-wKIPXnzJS0D_mnIYlV5oXbqQKncNxCPGbsPxSzn59aeZFRYz0G0fcUMlafNuj8C_ka_lyhouyvPx1ZtEokGEf/s400/Whatsapp11-1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div> 
This is the third case in under a year the network with over a billion active users has been blocked in the country. Apparently, the decision to ban WhatsApp was made by Daniela Barbosa Assunção de Souza, a judge from Rio de Janeiro which was to be effected to the carriers. The orders to the carriers were to block access to WhatsApp starting Tuesday indefinitely.

Apparently, the reason for the decision to issue the order was “not known” due to “legal secrecy in an ongoing case and will only be lifted once Facebook surrenders data.” This looks eerily similar to the second incident of the social network being banned in the country where the New York Times revealed that it was due to an investigation of organized crime and they had to obtain data from WhatsApp. Since Reuters in this case was not able to obtain the reason for the ban due to the “legal secrecy”, it won’t be a surprise if it was linked to the second case.

As usual, this will cause a lot of furore from WhatsApp users in Brazil who are estimated to be more than 93 million. The first time Brazil blocked access to WhatsApp, it led people to register en masse on Telegram where Telegram hinted they got over 1.5 million users in less than 24 hours. In this case, the ban on Whatsapp is indefinite and may force users to use VPNS indefinitely to access WhatsApp or use other competing platforms.

10 Crazy WhatsApp Facts You Probably Didn't Know

WhatsApp, the messaging platform that cost Facebook $19 billion dollars when it was acquired back in 2014, remains the most-used IM service with its parent's own platform - Messenger - following suit. And while you (probably) use it every day, there might still be some things that you don't know about its operations or what you can do inside the app. 
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBysG6b_KInHfogjdcZ9nUDxcP9V5gwKGZph0Gl8z2Bb5-mRKIyvPvCP-wKIPXnzJS0D_mnIYlV5oXbqQKncNxCPGbsPxSzn59aeZFRYz0G0fcUMlafNuj8C_ka_lyhouyvPx1ZtEokGEf/s1600/Whatsapp11-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="245" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBysG6b_KInHfogjdcZ9nUDxcP9V5gwKGZph0Gl8z2Bb5-mRKIyvPvCP-wKIPXnzJS0D_mnIYlV5oXbqQKncNxCPGbsPxSzn59aeZFRYz0G0fcUMlafNuj8C_ka_lyhouyvPx1ZtEokGEf/s400/Whatsapp11-1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div> 
Here are ten things you likely don't know about WhatsApp: 
 
1. 1 billion downloads with 5 people 
The messaging service hit the 1 billion downloads mark on Android back in March last year, and WhatsApp co-founder and CEO Jan Koum posted in response that the team working on the Android version was just five people in total. 
 
 
2. The company's co-founders were rejected by Facebook and Twitter 
Both Jan Koum and Brian Acton - who earlier worked together at Yahoo - were rejected by Facebook and Twitter in interviews, before they went full-time with WhatsApp. Imagine how different the world would be if even one of those interviews had gone better. 
 
 
3. You can use WhatsApp to compress images and videos 
Sure you could use a dedicated photo editing app to do that, but this works great for a quick fix if you don't mind the drop in quality. Send the set of pictures and video files to one of your friends (or yourself) via WhatsApp, and then head over to the WhatsApp Media folder on Android or your Camera Roll on iOS to find the compressed versions. You can delete the originals to save space, or share the compressed images or videos through some other if you prefer. 
 
 
4. WhatsApp creates user account in the form of [phone number]@s.whatsapp.net 
The service runs a customised version of the open messaging standard XMPP (Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol), which was first developed for collaboration application Jabber. That's why WhatsApp uses the ID protocol made for Jabber in the form of <[phone number]@s.whatsapp.net> 
 
 
5. Type "whatsapp://send?text=HELLO" in browser address bar 
The messaging service has its Web protocol as well, which is used by most websites to create a WhatsApp share feature. If the phone has WhatsApp installed, typing the text above into your browser should open WhatsApp and ask you to choose a contact to send the message to. You can customise the message by replacing the word "HELLO" with whatever message you'd like to send. Put in a little though and it could be a good way to prank friends into sending messages they didn't mean to. 
 
 
6. See when your messages were read 
Sent a message and later saw that it has been delivered and read, but you're not sure when? WhatsApp displays a couple of different ticks to tell you about the status of your message. But it also goes one step further and gives you a timeline breakdown on when your message was delivered and read. Just hold on any particular message and choose 'Info'. 
 
 
7. Custom notifications for any contact or group 
Right now, pretty much every message you get on WhatsApp probably sends the same notification, right? So the only way of knowing if it's something important is to check your phone every time a message comes. But there's a better way of doing things. You can set up custom message sounds, ringtones, vibrating patterns and pop-ups for your WhatsApp contacts and groups, depending on what device you're using. iOS is the more restrictive one, allowing for only sounds and ringtones. On Android, you can do all four - even going so far as to choose any sound file for calls, picking between short or long vibrations, and so on. This means that you can have different notifications for your work groups, your friends, and your family. 
 
 
8. Text formatting - bold, italics and strike-through 
Since March, WhatsApp for Android and iOS has supported basic text formatting as well in quite simple fashion, by enclosing your message in asterisks for bold, underscores for italics, and tildes for strikethrough. You can also combine any of the three for a multi-formatted experience. 
 
9. WhatsApp doesn't store user data 
The reason WhatsApp Web needs your phone and its corresponding data services to work is because the company doesn't provide server storage for your messages, unlike Facebook Messenger or Skype. All the server maintains is a queue of your undelivered messages. Once a message gets delivered to your device, there's nothing left back on the servers. You can of course backup and restore your messages via Google Drive or iCloud. 
 
 
10. WhatsApp provides 256-bit end-to-end encryption 
Developed by Open Whisper Systems - whose encryption protocol has been used by famed messaging tool Signal for years - all messages sent and received through WhatsApp are now encrypted end-to-end which means hackers or oppressive regimes cannot breach your privacy. This move has thrust WhatsApp into the legal world limelight since then, since it means that messages cannot be lawfully intercepted either.

WhatsApp Users May Soon Be Able to Search for Users Not in Their Contact Using “Usernames”

Messaging applications like Telegram, WeChat and others have usernames. You can search and add someone using their @username without ever having to know their phone number. 
 
That way, a person’s privacy is maintained since one does not have to share their mobile phone number. I have been able to interact with so many of Tutowap blog readers this way on Telegram and friends, brands and industry personalities on WeChat.

On WhatsApp, which is one of the most popular messaging apps in the world at the moment, things are a bit different. You need to have the other party’s phone number in order to chat them up. 
 
That may change soon if what WhatsApp has been testing eventually leaves the testbed and is rolled out to everyone.

According to <a href="http://www.twitter.com/@WABetaInfo">@WABetaInfo</a>, an account dedicated to tracking changes coming to WhatsApp, WhatsApp has been testing a feature to make this possible. Since WhatsApp doesn’t have usernames nor does it allow its users to set the same, it will use something else: push names. Push names are simply the names one keys in when setting up a WhatsApp account either afresh or on a new device. One can find and edit their push names under the Profile section of WhatsApp’s settings on mobile. 
 
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsBxkydGktHwi1aROG9IJkKc9KDc9aXjHRsIcw-OmRbigX2HZlzq8rh2jXY6mxMtp21ciNJ8IQ7xd3UOplAG4349DNDJnKkRRoVG2Eihz0BVeVsV3ZkFiNFFYhp2vo0359CqSZjj_zVzqp/s1600/Whatsapp_push_name.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsBxkydGktHwi1aROG9IJkKc9KDc9aXjHRsIcw-OmRbigX2HZlzq8rh2jXY6mxMtp21ciNJ8IQ7xd3UOplAG4349DNDJnKkRRoVG2Eihz0BVeVsV3ZkFiNFFYhp2vo0359CqSZjj_zVzqp/s400/Whatsapp_push_name.png" width="335" /></a></div> 
Using push names, one will be able to search for users and begin a conversation. For instance, if you don’t have my mobile phone number, you can go to your WhatsApp search bar and type “echenze” and you will come across my profile and be able to engage me. This may or may not be how it works since the whole thing is not clear at the moment.

Like, for instance, some may argue that there may be a privacy breach. 
 
The feature has been tested on both Android and iOS.

WhatsApp Has 7 New features in the New Update You Probably Didn’t Know About

Whatsapp quietly added 7 new features in the latest version (ver 2.16.145) that were spotted by Android Police and they affect several sections within the app 
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitV0AV2I-S6jRl7Q8xJ3wxfYBZnH12VIDG71MXiDsG_QYQ0eMZamKBTgv-Wxz2q-eG_dAX051s5HfG33Fr_OMm17IJpZlEguCi_8AE-gnsTC6cupoxSI8Vo5WC__wSN16sZ0DqmB5zGcnu/s1600/Whatsapp11-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitV0AV2I-S6jRl7Q8xJ3wxfYBZnH12VIDG71MXiDsG_QYQ0eMZamKBTgv-Wxz2q-eG_dAX051s5HfG33Fr_OMm17IJpZlEguCi_8AE-gnsTC6cupoxSI8Vo5WC__wSN16sZ0DqmB5zGcnu/s400/Whatsapp11-1.jpg" /></a></div> 
What are these seven features? 
 
1. Infinite scroll button 
 
We take for granted the infinite scroll button which has become standard in websites and some apps. It saves you time scrolling to the bottom of the page and if you are involved in a lengthy chat with your friend or in a group while on a messaging app, scrolling to the bottom will require a lot of scrolling. 
 
2. Notification for a group avatar change 
 
In the new update, if you change the avatar of a group, there will be a notification that will be sent in the chat timeline showing you the old versus the new one, presumably to notify the members. 
 
3. Missed call notification 
 
Previously when you got a missed call, it was shown in the Calls tab in a scrollable list. WhatsApp has now added an extra notification within the chat timeline of the person you were conversing with. 
 
4. New UI for creating broadcasts and groups 
 
WhatsApp made a huge material design change for the Android app and that was a while ago. It brought about a new design which we love and now they have updated the group and broadcast interfaces. You will be able to select contacts which will be highlighted at the top with huge thumbnails which you can remove at will. 
 
5. Olympic Games emoji 
 
We are in an Olympic year and they are one of the most watched sporting events in the world. Social networking platforms always jump on the bandwagon of these sports and in WhatsApp case, they have the Olympic Games emoji which is their logo that got “emojified.” 
 
6. Actions for unknown contacts 
 
Sometimes you get messages on WhatsApp from people who you haven’t saved their contacts in your phone book. Previously, you were given a block and add tabs but now, you have been given a menu list with three options: Report Spam, Block and Add to Contacts which is convenient. 
 
7. Error message of unsupported phones 
 
This is the most interesting update but it is not old news. Back in February, WhatsApp said that they would drop support for older devices which included older versions of Android. They have implemented this in this update where you will receive this error message. 
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5uX5XJiHGQWXi74fFyV_Qf7skWDdIhgoVQg3khUux3befAn-ALe84iouvI34orBkLFoIZGh2bim67CtGTXAmyQpQn5tUbCxmH02BCYfojlpxWYnAxaqF9xQq8H3Jseo1heACBU0Qudw0Q/s1600/nexus2cee_whatsapp-various-ui-deprecation-screen-329x548%25281%2529.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5uX5XJiHGQWXi74fFyV_Qf7skWDdIhgoVQg3khUux3befAn-ALe84iouvI34orBkLFoIZGh2bim67CtGTXAmyQpQn5tUbCxmH02BCYfojlpxWYnAxaqF9xQq8H3Jseo1heACBU0Qudw0Q/s400/nexus2cee_whatsapp-various-ui-deprecation-screen-329x548%25281%2529.png" /></a></div>
