    @brajeshlive @WhatsApp This is what you need to do for 100% privacy. Uninstall all social media app. Stop using Google search or any search engine, chrome or any web browser. Stop using any app or service which uses your location. Get rid of your android device or iphone, iPad.

  • heyadarsha Adarsh Gupta (@heyadarsha) reported

    @sunilpawar_ @telegram @WhatsApp I'm afraid not. But you can post links to new Telegram groups in the old ones and migrate everyone there and then export the chat history from WhatsApp? That might help, till some point.

  • hello_nicks Nitish Bhardwaj 🇮🇳 (@hello_nicks) reported

  • MagneticMan369 $ONI (@MagneticMan369) reported

    @telegram did not do anything to promote its app, only @WhatsApp did stupidity ! Trust broken will never ever be compensated ! TG, Take Care 💐

  • Shubham13653784 Shubham singh (@Shubham13653784) reported

    RIP whatsapp you'll never be missed. @WhatsApp ... instead will send few bugs masking them and see how you can handle that issue....

  • Sanjay_Pinto SANJAY PINTO (@Sanjay_Pinto) reported

    How much more instrusive are the new @WhatsApp Terms of Service compared to all the other apps on our phones? Do the demerits outweigh the merits? Can we stay on & minimise the invasion of privacy in any way? These are questions we need to consider. #WhatsappNewPolicy

  • DhananjaySpeaks Dhananjay Kumar Upadhyay 🇮🇳 (@DhananjaySpeaks) reported

    Biggest disadvantage w/ @WhatsApp is limit on number of users/group. People migrating to @telegram are liking this liberty over there. @WhatsApp will go down slowly now.

  • mimi_nun almamimi_ (@mimi_nun) reported

    @WhatsApp Hey WhatsApp please help my account was stolen and they are asking people for money and I can’t re-login until after 10 hours please unlock the code so I can re-login from my phone! I tried several times to send emails but with no respond only automated messages

  • Mani_Ayyar Mani Ayyar (@Mani_Ayyar) reported

    @timesofindia @TOIBusiness @WhatsApp should use the phrase "user data-gathering policy" instead of "privacy policy". The word 'privacy' seems to conjure up drastic fears in peoples' minds. As far as i understand, they only gather our data to help them market products back to us.

    @WhatsApp Hi, good morning... I have an issue while uploading a whole conversation (chat) from whatsapp to email including media... Only pics are uploading but not the videos, voice messages,documents and etc.. I want to upload the whole conversation, how?

  • Nascorb Praveen Patil (@Nascorb) reported

    Dear @WhatsApp , Why not go back to earlier policy & make it a paid service rather than collecting user data to encash it elsewhere @Facebook #WhatsApp

  • choozy14 Wind Blower (@choozy14) reported

    @PJkanojia In my view we all shud do mass uninstallation of @WhatsApp ASAP.. New privacy policy is to help there Indian masters to gether personal DATA. याद है : "DATA IS NEW OIL" कहा था साहेब के boss ने It's high time to act. #uninstall_whatsapp

  • samriz76361411 Sam Riz § (@samriz76361411) reported

    @brajeshlive @WhatsApp Signal's registration system crashed on Thursday after many new users attempted to join the service in their search for a WhatsApp alternative. @signalapp voice/video calling as well as text messagings is slow. Signal app should trade of between performance & Security.

  • i_Samajwadi 𝐒𝐚𝐦𝐚𝐣𝐰𝐚𝐝𝐢 (@i_Samajwadi) reported

    why there is so much panic about @WhatsApp 's new privacy policy? still #whatsapp is keeping your chat, voice and video calls as "End To End Encrypted". So where is the problem? Keep yourself reminding that you have linked your AADHAR card to everywhere.

  • AndaazeBayan Rabbani (@AndaazeBayan) reported

    It's time to say goodbye to @WhatsApp The social media company @WhatsApp is going to compromise with the private information of its users,it is cheating with the general customers,I suggest @signalapp to my readers and followers.The world of internet cyber and the current problem

    @Pappu_Pagger @WhatsApp @signalapp If group size is more than 150, then telegram. Else signal. Privacy issue kah rahe hai log baag

  • abdoulaye_ms Abdoulaye 🌍 (@abdoulaye_ms) reported

    @bordiasse Agree with you but at the same time they used to be a safe space for them. The issue i am pointing here is the ability of a private space manager (who after years of laxisme) wake up a day and decide to restrict liberty in his space. The same is done with @Facebook & @WhatsApp

  • dsingh_19 🇮🇳राष्ट्रहित सर्वोपरि🇮🇳 (@dsingh_19) reported

    @brajeshlive @WhatsApp @elonmusk He is big man. But I have tweeted first day on this bizarre issue. I am poor account holder. But now it comes in light. Something happen big 🤔
