Limited testing of the feature is currently underway in select countries for users who have set English as their WhatsApp language.

Anonymous, 16 Apr 2024Maybe it was your keyboard My keyboard is LG's own keyboard app, which isn't allowed to access internet, by Netguard. Plus, the other person typed "Divorced", not me. So, I don't think keyboard is it.

Anyways, with the death of third party cookies, one can expect next generation tracking from the big giants. And that's why majority of them updated their privacy policy to "allow tracking when you're offline".

        Corporate AI needs to be evaluated on an "is this useful?" metric. Photoshop generative expand? Extremely useful and time-saving. This? Complete waste of electricity, resources, and R&D. Want a chatbot? Use ChatGPT, or be cool and run local LLMs.

              I remember when someone in whatsapp told me she was divorced, Facebook showed me a divorce cake randomly from a page/group. It simply isn't a coincidence.
              They read it all.

But weirdly enough the fire brigade came and extinguished my only means of communication. Maybe someone misunderstood my message and called them out…

                      I wish. I've been trying to make my parents stop using that spyware-disguised-as-a-browser Chrome and switch to Firefox for years now. Making them leave Whatsapp would be even harder because everyone here is on it.

                        SMS is worse than even whatsapp.
                        Just research.

                        What'sapp when bought by facebook was dead.
                        It is just a zombie now.
                        Those who don't understand privacy, probably will never get it.
                        They just vote without knowing their rights mentioned on their countries constitutions.

                                  You can simply ignore it . It's not like you're being forced to chat with it

                                      And I thought forcing "communities" was bad... can't we just have simple chat-app to talk with friends? I don't care about anything else...
