So what do you do when your favorite IM app decides to pull the 'Read Receipts' feature on you? If you're a security researcher, you figure out how to crash it for others. WhatsApp may have added the ability to turn that feature off, but a group of security research students in India have demonstrated how a simple text message can be used to crash the app at the receiver’s end, pretty much ending the "message seen" dramas.
Popular instant messaging app - and relatively recent Facebook purchase - WhatsApp has finally received the app update that everyone has been waiting for. That's right, WhatsApp now properly supports the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus' increased screen size.
Here's a complete step by step guide on how to install WhatsApp Messenger beta on your device with full support for iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus resolution.
Remember that surprise package from WhatsApp which shows users if their messages have been read or vice versa? Well thanks to a Cydia tweak, your relationships with your supposedly loved ones doesn't necessarily have to go sore, despite WhatsApp's attempt in achieving that.
WhatsApp is the go-to IM’ing app for most smartphone users out there. While the app itself is feature-rich in a lot of ways, there’s always room for improvement, and today, WhatsApp is rolling out a new feature over-the-air that enable users to see if their message has been read by the recipient.
The WhatsApp for Android client is susceptible to malicious intrusion thanks to the way conversations are both stored and encrypted, a security expert has discovered. The bug opens up the potential for stored chats to be accessed via other apps, and even though the problem is, if anything, largely attributable to the way that Android is constructed rather than just being a WhatsApp issue, the apparent ease in which conversations can be gotten hold of and decrypted will no doubt leave users of the app feeling rather disconcerted.
Facebook's purchase of WhatsApp for $19 billion has taught us a lot of things, and while the focus has been mainly upon the breathtaking sums of money involved in this particular transaction, WhatsApp's swift 5-year rise, and the dogged, determined nature of one Brian Acton, the acquisition has made apparent the fact that Facebook is up there with the big boys when it comes to spending. Indeed, hitherto, it has been Google stumping up the cash to acquire large firms such as Motorola, and intriguingly, Fortune is reporting that the search giant once placed $10 billion on the table in an offer to buy WhatsApp out.
Facebook has just made waves in the tech world by announcing that it is to purchase the popular WhatsApp Messenger for an eye-watering $16 billion. The huge sum, which will comprise of $12 billion in stocks and $4 billion in cold, hard cash, just made the news by means of a press release, and although we've witnessed many high-profile tech acquisitions over the past few years, this is easily the most astonishing.
Instant Messaging apps are absolutely everywhere, and despite a cluster of established, widely-used efforts, newer ones continue to crop up all of the time. WhatsApp Messenger, which works on essentially all of the major mobile platforms, has been around for a number of years and boasts a user base well into the hundreds of millions, but despite offering a decent array of features, it could still use some improvements. Not being able to send more than 10 photos at once on the iPhone app, for example, is of major annoyance to some, but luckily, a new tweak by the name of WhatsApp Unlimited Media allows jailbreakers to bypass this limitation.
