Can you post a link?
- inigyou 4mo agoNo. It's a special arrangement between Google and WhatsApp which makes a file only visible to WhatsApp, and not appear in your regular drive so you can't do normal cloud file operations like generating public links.
- otterley 4mo agoWithout evidence of this “special arrangement” I don’t see why anyone should believe you. You made a claim that is directly contrary to WhatsApp’s published materials and they have a lot to lose if you are correct. On the other hand, if your accusation is false, it’s tantamount to libel.
- inigyou 4mo agoHow's this? Not sure if it's the same issue but it's much more damning than the one I knew about. https://www.techspot.com/news/112232-federal-agent-whatsapp-encryption-lie-investigation-shut-down.html https://www.techspot.com/news/112232-federal-agent-whatsapp-... You know how I found this link? Googling WhatsApp encryption backdoor. You could have too.

- x______________ 4mo ago> You know how I found this link? Googling WhatsApp encryption backdoor. You could have too. No need for the attitude. Op asked you for a source, which is customary for one to back up their initial claim; an onus on you and not for someone else to validate your claims.
- zer0zzz 4mo agoAll I asked for was specific examples while acknowledging what I hated about the platforms progression.
- x______________ 4mo agoI'm not sure why you're replying to me, my comment was for the person I replied to and whom I quoted (inigyou)
- otterley 4mo agoMy guess is that this person is using multiple HN accounts and is getting them mixed up.
- x______________ 4mo agoHad a similar thought, very messy conversation.
- zer0zzz 4mo agoNope, just got confused who was replying to who in this thread while loading site from mobile.
- marysol5 4mo agoIt's not a "Special Arrangement", it's a feature in Google Drive when an app does a backup rather than "upload".
