#WhatsApp Announces One-Way Broadcast 'Channels' for Following People and Organizations
https://www.macrumors.com/2023/06/08/whatsapp-introduces-channels/
#Whatsapp komprimiert Bilder aggressiv. Was auf Smartphone-Displays noch annehmbar aussehen kann, wird auf größeren Displays zur pixeligen Qual. Jetzt deutet sich in der WhatsApp #Beta Besserung an: https://winfuture.de/news,136701.html?utm_source=Mastodon&utm_medium=ManualStatus&utm_campaign=SocialMedia
WhatsApp launches Channels feature for broadcast messages, long after Telegram, but plans to monetise it
Seems the broadcast feature will work very similarly to Telegram’s broadcast channels in that an unlimited number of users can subscribe, but communication is broadcast one-way without any replies or comments from subscribers.

This is very useful for especially government, disaster management, news services, etc where millions of users can potentially tune-in, unlike with groups. Broadcast channels are also easier to manage as there is no moderation required.
But the differences come in with WhatsApp wanting to monetise these channels, and also limit them so that individuals are not able to use them. On Telegram's side, they have always been free, and even individuals could just create one and get going with them.
So WhatsApp continues to try keeping up with Telegram, but they always seem to be two steps or more behind with so many features. Yet we do know that the best features, the best security (I'm speaking broader than Telegram), most interoperable protocols, have never featured in the mass users' choice of what they use (just think VHS vs Betamax).
If corporates want to ever escape the ongoing squeeze of money out of them, they need to think open networks, interoperability, etc.

#whatsapp seems to have a bug. If you select an image from your device and share it with more than one person it gets sent but then when you open whatsapp the image is shown with the comments field ready for data entry. Then you think that the image has not been sent and press on send. Then everyone gets it twice. Is it just me?

Irgendwie ist das sehr krass, dass #Messenger wie #whatsapp, #telegram oder #Signal ungestraft hochgeladene Kontakte irgendwie und besonders irgendwo speichern und der User keine Möglichkeit hat eine saubere Löschung aller Daten nach Deinstallation der App zu bekommen.
#whatsapp прекратит работать на моём смартфоне 23 октября 2023 года. Поддержка андроида 4.4 прекращается. Видимо пора покупать новую сотку.

"#BorisJohnson’s #WhatsApp messages claim doesn’t make sense, security sources say"
That's because it's his version of #Trump's "I'm not allowed to show you my tax returns because I'm being #audited" lie.
And whatever #Sunak is hiding must presumably be at least as bad, if not worse, than anything people might speculate - otherwise they wouldn't bother.

My phone has a strange #WhatsApp bug. If I tap on the 'Unread Filter' button, even if I turn it off later, the 'Archived' chats button disappears and will not return until I close it from the app switcher and reload it.

#Facebook #Instagram & #WhatsApp owner, Meta, has been fined a record €1.2bn (£1bn) and ordered to suspend the transfer of user data from the #EU to the US.
The fine – equivalent to $1.3bn – imposed by #Ireland’s Data Protection Commission (DPC), which regulates #Meta across the #EU, is a record for a breach of the bloc’s General Data Protection Regulation ( #GDPR ).

Not only is E2EE necessary to protect us from griefers, stalkers, corporate snoops, mafiosi, etc, but E2EE is the only thing standing between the world's dictators and total surveillance of every digital communication. Even tiny flaws in E2EE can have grave human rights concerns. For example, a subtle bug in #Whatsapp was used by #NSOGroup to create a cyberweapon called #Pegasus that the #Saudi royals used to lure #JamalKhashoggi to his grisly murder:

That's an old trick.
First they offer you a product for free. They build a huge userbase which is dependent on their service. Then they gradually take away what was once free or introduce changes which everyone hates. Despite that, users cling to the service.
Been there.

@neil @Em0nM4stodon #WhatsApp does not employ actual #E2EE, since users don't own the private keys at all.
Also they're #collaborators in the #PRISM program - just like their acquiring company #Facebook - so they can't and won't violate #ITAR, #CloudAct & said agreement.

FYI: When you change your phone number linked to your #WhatsApp account, it will ask you if you want to inform your contacts about the change. This feature either straight does not work or is wonky. I'm still finding out that some people don't know my new number. The years later😩
Parents at my kids’ school are starting group chats and have chosen #WhatsApp as the platform, not paying attention to the long list of privacy issues. Is there a way to avoid succumbing to #Meta’s evil without being left out of potentially important information? I’m happy to try and encourage a shift to #Signal or something, but you know how hard it can be to convince others to change what they’re used to.
It's interesting to me that so many of us are regular smartphone users now, and we all use them in such different ways.
Figured I'd look at my phone's most used apps as I've never paid much attention to it before. Out of the 55 apps I've used in the last 6 days, yeah, my top 6 aren't a surprise to me at all. 🤣

@Atomicbutterfly #WhatsApp is indispensable sadly. But I use it only via the #matrix bridge so I deny #Facebook much #data.
But I’m not happy. The best option is to give the #alternative. Don’t host on a single page, not #medium, not #anything. We have to be reachable and offer options. Thank you so much
Are you a #Telegram user?
I much prefer it to #WhatsApp, but 90% of my friends are still on WA
I especially like that I can initially connect with people without giving out my mobile number.
I was reading the features for Premium (paid) Telegram users. One of them is no-adverts. I have to say I have never seen an ad in telegram. Have you?
#whatsapp #signal #Viber et d'autres services de messagerie plus ou moins connus ont adressé une lettre ouverte au gouvernement britannique pour lui demander de repenser le projet de loi sur la sécurité en ligne, un texte législatif qui permettrait aux autorités de régulation de demander aux plateformes de surveiller les utilisateurs afin d'identifier les images d'abus d'enfants. Les services craignent un dévoiement de l'objectif.

A few people have recommended me #Telegram recently, i know, it's not one of the most secure apps, there are a few things about it I don't like, but it seems to be popular enough so people are using it these days, same as #WhatsApp, which I like much more, however like I have said for a couple of times, I don't like the fact that if I want to talk to someone on #WhatsApp I have to share my phone number, on Telegram I can hide it. Another alternative is #Discord, but I can't find any good, active servers/groups I could join. I won't mention other apps, because they are usually either inaccessible or paid. So are there any groups on Telegram related to the #Blind and #VisuallyImpaired I could join, if I decided to instal and use this app. I'm just curious. Thank you.

@rbreich We can always quit #Twitter, #Facebook, #Instagram and #WhatsApp. Like I already did long time ago. Your keep using it does not help with the situation. Delete your account now!
