WHAT THE FUCK

Aren't the images end2end encrypted tho?

Basically, All your data are belongs to us, yes?

And we can do whatever fuck with your photos

#DeleteWhatsapp

and they call it a feature?

Deleted WhatsApp, now it's your turn

That should be illegal

@M4xammo Agreed

MARK FUCKERBERG:
Did anyone bring GDPR, cuz guess what, we ain't give a fuck..

Link plz ?

Isn't messages and files stored in users' phone?

@Pogromist nope, not always

@jdevs 0_0 what

From the same article :

"Before you raise your eyebrows on the privacy concerns, WhatsApp’s latest update will only upload the files on its server when you have selected them and are in the edit mode. When you select a photo you wish to share, WhatsApp redirects you to the ‘Edit Photo’ section before you share the images. It is at this moment, WhatsApp knows that you wish to send these photos and in the background, it will upload the images to the server immediately."

@Maroti that's better, but in that case it seems like a pointless feature because won't it have to be uploaded again after editing it?

@j4cobgarby maybe they replicate the operations on the server if they are simple enough.

@Maroti good point

@j4cobgarby Also, is probably a vast majority of users don't edit the pictures at all. TBH whatsapp's photo editor is crap.

FFS read the damn article. You guys, who have to read documentations all day long, really should know better.

Adding to that comes that it's a beta feature l and night not ever make it to end users.

@bcye at first it was a bug, but then they made it a feature

@Alice send noots

When mark zuckerberg touch software

Instagram already has been doing this.

@polaroidkidd oh! I see now, thanks

Definition of click bait....

haha is like the iconic movie "They Live" ... wait....MAN!!!!

@Dacexi asking real questions

@kunal-mohta yeah well I mean, does it matter? If they're encrypted it's not like they can use it for advertising. It's just a useful feature that improves speed.

@Alice you mean Bob and vagene

@1nfinite *vegana
👏

@Dacexi no but if they are predicting which images you are going to send that means they are using ML and for that they need to know what the image is. They might as well sell it

@dontbeevil Yes I did ;) and I also quit whatsapp about 4 years ago.

Now I know where all my nudes will go

They aren't predicting jack, they're just uploading everything you own.

I'm leaving WhatsApp 😑
Zuckerberg has gone too far.
I'll be on Discord 24/7😁

Lmbo. Deleted this thing long ago.

Coming soon: WhatsApp premptively uploads your location, so that you can share it more quickly

HahaAhahahAhahahHahaHhaahHahahahHahahHaHhahaH 😅

@kkdev @kalex 😲😲

Good Bye Privacy...

They're the part of Facebook eventually

I can't see how that could possibly go wrong! Fucking geniuses at what's app.

There has got to be some seriously shady ulterior reason behind this. Photos upload in no time. Why would anyone in their right mind trade their privacy for 2-3 seconds of upload time?
