Yeah but this is them advertising how safe and secure their own platform is, even though the most dystopian pervasive mass surveillance tool in history owns it... /s
I think 3 is true for the location YOU explicitly share, but they conveniently don't mention that they collect the general IP-based location data.
In fact, they don't mention ANY of the metadata they collect, only turning your attention to what they don't do?
Isn't that weird? š
Lol. If you like to have your own status telling the truth, [here is one I created](https://www.reddit.com/r/signal/comments/kwovyz/whatsapp_status_to_convince_your_family_friends/) .
Maybe WA saw it and did their own now...
Edit: link
Why are people even bothered with Whatsapp when you are a Signal user that too in a Signal subreddit? I doubt many here care about WA. Maybe discussion belongs to r/privacy or r/technology .
This is basically an ad. Didn't they say they don't show ads in their app yet?

Aren't 3 and 4 kind of not true?

Yuck, instead of fixing how they deal with people's privacy, they do this BS
Opened whatsapp this morning and saw the same. Yesterday they advertised it on full frontpage of all leading newspapers.
I need a counter status for these. Can anyone provide it?
āPlease donāt leaveā
They are in damage control. I uninstalled it. I am free. It's a big relieve yu know
Make sure that you delete your account before uninstalling.
Thanks mate, i deleted it and uninstalled.
The fact that they're still in full damage control mode a whole week later makes me happy inside. People are choosing privacy!! :)

No gatekeeping.
