You are right, they dont interact with whatsapp directly, but indirectly through a android API. The android API cannot be covered by the whatsapp terms (which the developers never agreed to according to the title)
- bodas 8y agoI don't believe that. They never installed Whatsapp? The intersection of people who build chat accessory apps and people who have never installed Whatsapp is surely empty.
- gmueckl 8y agoDoesn't WhatsApp have separate terms for users and APIs? Would be weird if these were the same terms.
- rpeden 8y agoI think it depends on where in the world the user is from. Where I'm located, it doesn't seem like WhatsApp is used much, or at all. I don't think I've ever met anyone in my personal or professional lives who uses it. So if I were building an app using these APIs, it probably wouldn't even occur to me to test it with WhatsApp. I'd test it with Messenger, sure, and SMS. Maybe even Hangouts, or whatever the newest Google chat app is. I don't think it's farfetched to think that someone could have received one of these notices even though they've never used WhatsApp.
