Whatsapp

FP StaffJun 02, 2022 10:07:58 ISTAccording to WhatsApp’s monthly disclosure resort, the messaging platform owned by Meta,  has banned over 16.7 lakh accounts in India in the month of April. Out of these, 122 accounts were banned because of mandatory actions based on user complaints while a bulk of them, about 16.66 lakh accounts, were barred to prevent harmful activity on the app. "We are particularly focused on prevention because we believe it is much better to stop harmful activity from happening in the first place than to detect it after harm has occurred," the monthly report stated. According to the WhatsApp framework, the app bans an account when it is confident that the user operating the account is abusive on the platform. "Our goal is to identify and stop abusive accounts as quickly as possible, which is why identifying these accounts manually is not realistic. Instead, we have advanced machine learning systems that take action to ban accounts, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week," the report said. The company said it bans the account in several cases, including when an account accumulates negative feedback, such as when other users submit reports or block the account. The report also said…

WhatsApp appears to be working on a feature we wanted Twitter to aded since forever: the ability to edit sent messages.According to WABetaInfo (via 9to5Mac), the feature is already under development, and the outlet has a screenshot to prove it, showing an "edit" option for a sent message in WhatsApp for Android. It's unclear whether messages will be editable forever or within a certain time window.WABetaInfo claims the feature is not even available for beta testers yet, but will probably show up fairly soon. It should also become available on WhatsApp for iOS, as well as the app's desktop version. WhatsApp added the ability to delete sent messages five years ago, but the new feature should be useful in those situations when you need to edit a typo without deleting and re-sending the message (potentially confusing the receiving party). WhatsApp has recently added several much-needed features, including the ability to post message reactions as well create groups that host up to 512 people. As for Twitter, we just have to mention it in the context of editing sent messages. It's something Twitter has been working on for a while, and recently there have been signs that the feature might actually…

A digital risk protection company has discovered a new Whatsapp vulnerability that malicious actors can exploit to subsume control of an unsuspecting user’s Whatsapp account.The process does require the use of social engineering – including ringing the victim – and trades on the fact the average Whatsapp user is not familiar with MMI codes.The new attack is another example of why WhatsApp users need to take security seriously, hot on the heels of a previous threat from Russian hackers.How Dangerous is This?This hack, first discovered by CloudSEK CEO Rahul Sasi, is facilitated by two technical facts.Firstly, the service provided by many mobile phone carriers that let you forward phone calls to a different number is automated. Secondly, Whatsapp allows users to send a one-time voicemail verification code.According to Sasi, “Within a few minutes” of the process commencing, “your WhatsApp would be logged out, and the attackers would get complete control of your account”.

Reported By:| Edited By: DNA Web Team |Source: DNA webdesk |Updated: May 31, 2022, 09:41 PM ISTA new scam has now emerged which is being used to hack into WhatsApp accounts using a single call and OTP method. This simple trick was recently highlighted by cybersecurity expert Rahul Sasi on social media. WhatsApp being the most preferred and popular messaging platforms among Indians, naturally becomes a regular target for hackers in the country. Such malicious actors try to trick users and hack into WhatsApp accounts, thereby gaining their personal details and compromising security. In his detailed post, Sasi who is the founder and CEO of CloudSEK explained what is happened and how users need to be aware against this scam. “Beware, here is how WhatsApp accounts are getting hacked,” he alerted. Sasi went on to elaborate how users are receiving a call from the attack who then convinces the victim to make a call to the following number ‘**67* or *405*.” “Within a few minutes your WhatsApp would be logged out, and the attackers would get complete control of your account,” he wrote. How hackers run the scam? Sasi explained that the number that the victim dials is a service…

The Facebook-owned instant messaging app could, in fact, be working on a status reply indicator, as per a report by WABetaInfo. With the new update, a new, different icon will be displayed next to the chat when the latest message to arrive is a reply to a status update, says the report, basing its claims on a screenshot captured from WhatsApp Desktop beta. If the feature is currently being tested for desktop, we can expect it to arrive on Android and iOS too. The feature is expected to make it easier for users to know who in their contacts list actually responded to their status updates. It would help distinguish a status reply from a general message on the chat screen. So, although the feature looks likely to come to the desktop, Android and iOS versions of the app, it is not yet confirmed when it would be rolled out. In another, earlier report that…

Users can redeem this cashback reward for up to three times by sending money to three different contacts. However, in order to access WhatsApp cashback, users need to meet certain eligibility criteria and the offer will be available to different users at a different time. Once the cashback is available to you, it will be for a limited time only.

Image Source : WHATSAPP WhatsApp Reaction WhatsApp Reaction was released a while back by Meta-owned chatting platfrom and how the company is planning to improve the function even more advanced with a few tweaks for the iOS devices. The new feature will enable users to react with up to six emojis in any conversation, audio, photo, and more. Beta version 22.12.0.70 of WhatsApp for iOS has brought detailed Reactions information for the users. This tweak is pretty much about reacting to photos on an automatic album, which was cited asa per the report of WABetaInfo and 9To5Mac. When users send a few photos in a chat, WhatsApp gathers them as an album. As of now, users of the stable version of the app will not know who reacted to each photo. Hence, the new feature update will enable the users to know which reaction one should give to each photo. The messaging platform is also preparing a 2.0 iteration of Reactions by bringing the ability to react with any emoji available. As of now, the function is under development, just like an improved version of multi-device compatibility, but will surely come to life in a future update. When WhatsApp starts rolling…
