WhatsApp has a very strange problem affecting iPhone and Android phones at the moment, and we're talking about one that was discovered because of what's happening in the devices. More precisely, it seems that WhatsApp no longer properly blocks the phone numbers that we entered in the blacklist of the application, and some that do not have us in the contact book can see information that normally should not be accessible to them.
WhatsApp has a serious problem due to which some people's statuses are visible even to those they have blocked within the platform, and there is currently no explanation for the situation. Those who discovered the problem say below that everything happened by mistake because the blocked people started leaving comments on their statuses, which normally they should not have seen if this function of WhatsApp had worked correctly.
WhatsApp: The Strange Problem in iPhone and Android Phones
WhatsApp has another problem because of which people who are not in a user's contact book can see his statuses, even if he has chosen to keep them private. Here we are talking about a new big problem with the privacy settings that WhatsApp has, and at the moment no one knows what exactly is the basis of all these extremely serious problems, so it is not known if they will ever be solved for users.
This is getting interesting: the blacklist has a similar issue. Any other reports? https://t.co/9CqvOtbKGe

WhatsApp has said absolutely nothing about this problem, and it is not even known if its engineers are aware of its existence, or if they have any intention to solve it very soon, unfortunately. This means that we will have a long time to wait until WhatsApp manages to solve this extremely serious and annoying bug that will more than likely annoy a lot of people if it is discovered by several people.
WhatsApp is not a perfect platform or application, so problems of this kind can appear at any time, and we must be very attentive to what is happening in order not to be hit by problems.
