WhatsApp is the largest messaging platform on the planet, with over 2 billion users worldwide, and many of them do not know what they do when they are not paying attention, and a recent discovery has shocked many people. According to the information discovered after the analysis of WhatsApp, but also of other applications for mobile phones, it seems that the activity of users on the platform can be very easily monitored from the outside.
WhatsApp it's an application made by Facebook, the company we know for 100% sure doesn't value the protection of users' data, on the contrary, it wants to steal as much as possible, and that's exactly what it does with this platform. It seems that WhatsApp has implemented a series of monitoring systems that provide data to external applications, recording details about the people we are likely to talk to, when we sleep, when we use our phones, etc.
WhatsApp: The Colossal PROBLEM, What the Application does SECRETLY
WhatsApp it sends "signals" to various external services regarding our habits regarding its use, and this without anyone knowing exactly what is happening, and this is where the big problem with the application comes from. We are talking about systems for constant monitoring of our activity that help those at Facebook to understand much better everything we do, and this while they use this data to sell their ads, and not only that.
"WhatsApp prides itself on its approach to privacy. But user data that the Facebook-owned messaging app shares publicly allows dozens of third-party apps to track aspects of WhatsApp users' online activity — including who they're likely talking to, when they're sleeping and when they're using their devices. These apps and services use WhatsApp's 'online' flagging feature to allow users to monitor the digital habits of anyone using WhatsApp without their knowledge or consent."
WhatsApp has had these active monitoring systems for years, and years, for days without anyone knowing what was happening, but now the real problems with the application have started to emerge. We are talking about an unprecedented situation regarding the messaging application, and those from Facebook are not saying anything for now, although WhatsApp is the largest messaging platform on the planet, and they exploit the data of 2 billion people.
WhatsApp it does not ask for any money from users for its use, and those in the IT industry know that the only way the platform can generate income is the sale of the usage data of those who access it daily.
