Talk:WhatsApp
Add topicEditor note: I was never suspended from WhatsApp (back when I used it), but even the remote possibility of suddenly losing access to ones entire messaging history at the whim of a Meta, Inc. employee is worrying. JodyBruchonFan (talk) 16:23, 11 February 2026 (UTC)
AI button
[edit source]Is "Meta AI" button an incident worth mentioning? The button cannot be hidden from the UI Rudxain (talk) 08:47, 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. — Sojourna (talk) 23:15, 7 April 2026 (UTC)
Shorter profile "About"
[edit source]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.[1] 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 IG and 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.
Is all of this relevant to the article? Rudxain (talk) 05:02, 30 May 2026 (UTC)
removing Telegram from alternatives
[edit source]Telegram is not end to end encrypted. Therefore I strongly recommend not to mention it here as it will potentially endanger users' data. Hellfinder (talk) 20:52, 10 July 2026 (UTC)
Plagiarism
[edit source]In the User privacy section, I noticed that a portion of the sentence was copied from the source and slightly paraphrased.
Particularly, this text (from this article):
[...] intentionally collect less to avoid incursions on their users' privacy.
which reads just like this text (from the source):
[...] intentionally gather much less metadata to avoid incursions on its users’ privacy, [...]
(I've reworded it now, so you'll have to look at an old revision to see it)
Not sure how noteworthy it is, but it makes me worry that there might be more plagiarized text in this article. Noewaeda (talk) 19:17, 21 August 2026 (UTC)
