:I believe it would be worthwhile if it can be tied to a consumer-rights issue, such as an unfavorable end-user agreement clause or proof of censorship like the [[DeepSeek]] AI engages in. — [[User:Sojourna|Sojourna]] ([[User talk:Sojourna|talk]]) 23:15, 7 April 2026 (UTC) | :I believe it would be worthwhile if it can be tied to a consumer-rights issue, such as an unfavorable end-user agreement clause or proof of censorship like the [[DeepSeek]] AI engages in. — [[User:Sojourna|Sojourna]] ([[User talk:Sojourna|talk]]) 23:15, 7 April 2026 (UTC) | ||
== Shorter profile "About" == | |||
IDK when, but WA has decreased the max length of user-profile "bio" ("About" text), and there's an '''expiration date''' which auto-clears the About.<ref>https://reddit.com/r/whatsapp/comments/1pjgtnh/new_whatsapp_about_is_shorter_than_normal</ref> This is an extreme regression to the original purpose of the About, which was named "Status" before they copied [[Snapchat]]'s Stories. | |||
The "good" news is that it's not retroactive, so unchanged bios are left as-is. | |||
Related problem: The "links" section of the profile is limited exclusively to [[Instagram|IG]] and [[Facebook|FB]]. So the user can only add 1 or 2 (or 3?) non-Meta links to their profile before exhausting the len-limit, ATP it's impossible to add more info.
