Bankers at Germany’s largest lender are being made to install an app that tracks communications on their phones as regulators clamp down on messaging between bankers and clients on platforms like WhatsApp.In the past several weeks Deutsche Bank has told some employees to download Movius, a US mobile app that enables compliance staff to monitor people’s calls, text messages, and WhatsApp conversations, according to the Financial Times.It is understood that the roll-out has been focused on work phones and not private devices.The monitoring push comes as regulators around the world become increasingly focused on bankers’ use of messaging apps. Last year, JP Morgan Chase was fined $200m by US regulators for failing to keep records of staff communications on personal devices.Senior managers at lenders have become more sensitive to private messaging as a result of the scrutiny. Many banks revealed in recent annual reports that they were facing investigations by the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission regarding the use of inappropriate channels for business discussions. “Maintenance of complete and accurate books and records is required in order to operate in our industry, as is diligent supervision,” said Rostin Behnam, acting chairman at the CFTC, which regulates US derivatives markets. He added…

WhatsApp has released new privacy controls that allow users to decide who can view their profile pictures and who cannot. Part of the privacy controls also allow users to choose who can see their ‘last seen’ status, including the ‘About’ section.

An offer giving people the chance to win "free crates of beer" for Father's Day, has been revealed as a hoax.The WhatsApp scam promotes a "Heineken Beer Father's Day Contest 2022" and says "5,000 coolers full of Heineken beers" are available to claim. The message also includes an image of a pack of Heineken beers.It appears to come to WhatsApp users via a contact and includes a link to click through to the beer company's website to enter the competition.However, clicking on the link runs the risk of exposure to phishing scams, spam and malicious websites which could potentially steal personal information. Heineken posted a message on its Twitter account, saying: "This is a scam. Thank you for highlighting it to us. Please don't click on links or forward any messages. Many thanks." A WhatsApp spokeswoman said the platform protects users' personal messages through end-to-end encryption, but she added: "We can all play a role in keeping our accounts safe by remaining vigilant to the threat of scammers. "We advise people never to share their six-digit PIN code with others, not even friends or family, and recommend that all users set up two-step verification for added security."She said the company…

(JTA) – The fighting in Ukraine has been called “a WhatsApp war” amid widespread reliance on messaging apps by journalists, soldiers and ordinary civilians, and their central role in spreading propaganda.  Meanwhile, WhatsApp’s inventor, a Ukrainian-born Jew whose creation made him one of the wealthiest people in the world, has kept conspicuously quiet throughout the conflict. Jan Koum, who controls a multi-billion-dollar charitable foundation, has not uttered a public word even as many other wealthy Ukrainians and Russians announce donations toward humanitarian relief efforts.  But based on an examination of tax returns filed by Koum’s foundation before the war, the publicity-shy WhatsApp founder, who arrived in California as a teenager, is more entwined than meets the eye with the events rocking the country he left behind as a 16-year-old. His donations, only a sliver of which have been previously reported, include tens of millions of dollars to Jewish organizations now involved in relief efforts in Eastern Europe.  For example, from 2019 to 2020, the latest year for which there is a tax return, the Koum Family Foundation donated about $17 million to the European Jewish Association, an organization headquartered in Brussels that launched a campaign in March to provide housing, food and clothing to refugees from the…

Moving WhatsApp chats from Android to iOS has been a painful task for years. But not anymore, as Apple and WhatsApp have made the process a whole lot easier. Starting today, Apple is adding a feature that allows you to move chats between the two platforms. The feature is a part of Apple’s existing “Move to iOS” Android application. It’s worth noting that the feature is currently available for beta users only, so non-beta users might have to wait for a week or two as it’s rolled out in phases. This is a big move since 2 million people use WhatsApp and, until now, there wasn’t an official method to move conversations between Android and iOS. There have been third-party solutions here and there, but nothing officially backed by Apple or WhatsApp. With the feature becoming available, users will be able to move their chats swiftly from Android to iOS. Apple In addition to needing the Move to iOS app, there are a few other requirements users need to be aware of. Your iPhone must be running iOS 15.5 or later, and your Android phone needs Android 5.0 or above. You also need the latest version of the Move to…

Last year WhatsApp added the option to transfer chat history from iOS to Android, starting with Samsung (in August) and eventually making it available for all Android 12 devices (in October). Transferring the other way, from Android to iOS, is going into beta testing today. This means that it will be a while before the option is available to everyone. But if you are running WhatsApp beta, here are some key requirements: Android 5 (Lollipop) or later, WhatsApp (Android) 2.22.7.74 or later iOS 15.5, WhatsApp (iOS) 2.22.10.70 or later Same phone number as on the old phone Possible only during the initial setup of the iPhone The transfer is done using the Apple’s Move to iOS app and happens locally. This means the old and new phones must be on the same Wi-Fi network (a Wi-Fi hotspot works too) and both must be plugged into a charger. Apple's Move to iOS app Note that the data on the Android device won’t be wiped automatically, you can do that yourself afterwards. Also, while messages will be transferred, peer to peer payment messages and your WhatsApp call history will not be carried over to the iPhone. Read the official guide for more…
