    @wcathcart @WhatsApp Why is this new policy shoved down to our throats instead of giving a choice? And why is this policy not applicable to EU cos it will be illegal there.

  • Zainull25776490 Zainullah khan (@Zainull25776490) reported

    @Lillyandpumpkin @wcathcart @WhatsApp Depends on what you use, but Google or Apple scans your photos if you use their service.

  • shubhampfp SHUBHAM (@shubhampfp) reported

    @Whatsapp not allowing me to update picture on my status. Tech support not able to resolve the issue of my #whatsapp crashing every time I upload a status. Issue pending to be resolved for more than 10 months now. Your tech team needs upgradation like your privacy policy.

  • Hex_0xDEAD 0xDEAD (@Hex_0xDEAD) reported

    @yoelish @RODO1308 @WhatsApp Hmm that's true. I have seen dictionary attacks much more complicated. Narrowing down hashed phone numbers is easy. Good point actually. I don't think Facebook took this into account or do they believe that their dbs are unbreachable(which everbody knows - is not)??

  • KAMMITHAKUR10 🇮🇳 KAMMI THAKUR MUSAFIR 🇮🇳 (@KAMMITHAKUR10) reported

    @WhatsApp Plz mislead d issue tht I just discussed above in msg.

  • ZulukaNtombela Makaula (@ZulukaNtombela) reported

    @WhatsApp What was the problem with old policies? Again I must be honest I am lazy to go thru that book you made of policies, now I see what you don't do but I don't know what you can do or gonna do. For my safety on what I don't know maybe Telegram is the best.

  • SyedUmairIrfan Syed Umair Irfan (@SyedUmairIrfan) reported

    How quickly people are moving to @telegram and leaving @WhatsApp is so similar to how should you switch a person when encounter trust issues.

  • Happu7706 Happy (@Happu7706) reported

    @WhatsApp I got some link from my friend I have no clue on this. But after opening that link my account has been suspended. You can check my all data i didn't violated any terms. I am a student and I need it for my online classes. My number is 9161848592. I beg you help me.

  • kssrikanth87 Srikanth Kundurthy (@kssrikanth87) reported

    @WhatsApp if there is a privacy breach, as general user we find to see then you get in trouble

  • nikunjsonecha Nikunj Sonecha (@nikunjsonecha) reported

    New issue on whatsapp the app keeps crashing within Seconds the app is opened. Using the latest version. Please do something @WhatsApp

  • rikrdo_orianthi Ing. Ricardo Cordova (@rikrdo_orianthi) reported

    @WhatsApp Even with that "clarification" I can't trust your service any more, I've uninstalled FB since many years ago and I only use it if some of my relatives notify me about something really necessary, other way I'm not in. It's time to say goodbye and try other options.

  • KimmyWanders KJ (@KimmyWanders) reported

    Hey piss off @WhatsApp Down w the @signalapp 🙌

  • rahmathf_a imMath (@rahmathf_a) reported

    @WhatsApp Yes but this was never the issue that caused rage.Ur policy abt extracting user personal data,location,bank transaction,credit card details to target users better in advertising & selling data to companies is the MAJOR CONCERN to everyone!! This is a breach of privacy FULL STOP!

  • _MrTobby Manuel Reyes (@_MrTobby) reported

    @WhatsApp The damage is already done. Sit down and watch it burn.

  • CitipharmP Citipharm Pharmacy (@CitipharmP) reported

    @WhatsApp You know what your app has issues and you do nothing to help! I have emailed several times to say I am having issues with uploading status and nothing! When you email telegram you get a response! You are too big for your boots you don’t care about every user!

  • Mouna_1790 Meenakshi Vyas (@Mouna_1790) reported

    @uni_con1 @WhatsApp Such a lip service. If they really meant it, they would have given their users a choice. Somehow European users have the right to privacy but asians/Indians don’t.

  • souvikm99 Souvik Mallick (@souvikm99) reported

    The biggest problem with switching to signal from whatsapp is, you have to block those people again 😶 @signalapp @WhatsApp #Signal #WhatsappNewPolicy

  • Godylord1 Dougie G (@Godylord1) reported

    @WhatsApp pls help restore my account back, it has been hacked by unknown person.

  • MohitKumarPand1 Mohit Kumar Pandey (@MohitKumarPand1) reported

    You know why I am saying “there is a difference between what you are willing to share and what you are bound to share (accept if you want to use the service term means)”? #WhatsAppPrivacyPolicy #WhatsappPrivacy @WhatsApp

    @WhatsApp We’ll use your service if you pay us for the exploitation of our privacy, you sociopathic monolith.

  • shubhampfp SHUBHAM (@shubhampfp) reported

    @WhatsApp Have been facing issues with tech support and my critical issue is not resolved from 10 months. Have suffered a lot because a lot of tech glitch. Last resort is to tweet this 😐

  • tagbennu Cesar Quiros (@tagbennu) reported

    @WhatsApp Why all this fuss about WhatsApp?? Smatrphones DO listen to us. You start seeing ads related to the conversation you just had 5 min ago. Alexa, Siri... everything. And it seems we can do little about it. Messaging apps are just small part of a broader issue...

  • shawnwenzel Shawn Wenzel (@shawnwenzel) reported

    @Jcanguy @WhatsApp This is the problem they have today: most of us have too much invested in WhatsApp to delete our account all of a sudden like this. But now, thanks to this flop, many of have one foot in the WhatsApp boat and a next foot in the @telegram boat. This list is growing by the day!

  • Vaasu16738810 Vasu (@Vaasu16738810) reported
