That is doing the rounds right now! Been sent that by several people

I worry about this stuff. But not so much that I ever read the small print It’s designed like that I feel And hence it’s a surveillance tool

GM!

I have never activated encrypted backups 😑

I was just reading about this. Creepy AF

Huge opportunity to build exits

And it’s off by default. And you need to enable it in any single chat. WhatsApp is absolute garbage.

To be fair, those features are completely useless anyways, if I can download something, I can redirect the path where it is saved, it's not rocket science

Just wow

Zuckerberg is a bad faith actor and it shows with his actions regarding WhatsApp and Snapchat He’s been like this for two decades since Harvard

This feature doesn't make any sense to me. What does e2e encryption have to do with how someone is allowed to use the data after they decrypt it? This is like websites that attempt to disable right click

Is Meta AI reading my group chats even if nobody "mentions" it? Obviously one is "leak all our chat to some corporate server for analysis" and the other is "store stuff you see on your device", so they should be treated differently. Even "export chat" would allow you to run a local AI on the chat.

Thanks for sharing!

I bet this never would have happened if the original founders of whatsapp never sold it Unfortunately thats not the reality we live in

I couldn’t find this option on the version I’m running. What version is this? Wonder if maybe it’s only being rolled out in specific jurisdictions.
