Nobody has to stop using WhatsApp, the scenario described in the article can be prevented simply by changing the app's privacy settings.
- polote 9y agoWrong, if you deactivate the feature 'last seen at' it doesn't change anything because you can still get the same information with the feature 'is online now' and this feature can't be deactivated
- 100ideas 9y agoCan't a user just remain logged-in on a second device 24/7?
- jhasse 9y agoIIRC you can't log in from two devices at once with WhatsApp.
- netsharc 9y agoDid he mean change it client-side, or if WhatsApp the company changes this setting to allow more privacy (allow users to hide their status).
- NasKe 9y agoWhat count as "online"? Using the app? Does the web app also track that? I don't think this is disclosed by facebook, it would be nice to experiment to check it.
- Tijdreiziger 9y agoAFAIK, having either the mobile app or web interface in the foreground.
- slig 9y agoAFAIK, it will display that the user is online (i.e: the user is using the app) regardless of the privacy setting.
