the more it’s being talked about, the more difficult it will be for people to ignore.

RedWizard, in PSA: Anyone can tell if you are using WhatsApp on your computer

And…?

FriendBesto,

It means you have even less privacy than the already abysmal notion that you thought you had.

Or,

That Whatsapp users are an even bigger set of Meta’s removed. 'Cause they are just raping yet another previously unknown data point.

This isn’t new, interesting or noval information. If you run whats app from the desktop app or from web.WhatsApp.com on you’re browser on a PC then no shit they know your on your PC

Why does it matter if the people I’m chatting with know if in onnmy PC?

FriendBesto,

I see the issue. The issue is that you seemingly did not bother to read the link. Since that is not what is being discussed. It is not that you cannot tell whether someone is using a PC or a phone, but rather which PC or phone or peripheral you are using if you have number of them. Your point has literally nothing to do with the post.

“Be’ery wrote in his blog post explaining the data leak that it is a consequence of the way WhatsApp is designed: When someone sends a message to another WhatsApp user, their device creates a different session key for each device the receiver is using, thus telling the sender how many devices the receiver is using.”

I haven’t found one that I like as much. My biggest hangup, and this is probably dumb, is the ability to edit the icons for PWAs so they don’t show the stupid browser icon that screams “I’m a web shortcut!!!”. I tried Hermit as a PWA/lite app replacement and Android just slaps the hermit badge on it instead. For whatever reason that annoys me enough to stick with Nova.

Could shove it in a folder and then make the tap action open the first item in the folder, then set the folder icon to whatever your want. Disadvantage is that if it’s already in a folder you can’t do that because it would require nested folders

Not a bad idea. I get picky about aesthetics though. Dumb, I know. But I’ll give it a try. Just seems silly to me that default launchers can’t manage editing the dang app shortcuts

edit: Samsungs OneUI launcher does not put the badge on a PWA. But I’m not sure I trust them any more than Nova at this point…

Paying for 2FA seems to be a new low. And I’m not sure i could use any service that tried that.

I was under the impression that two factor via SMS was disabled for free users, but you could still use OTP apps.

I have no idea if sms (ew) is an option, or if it is paid limited, but yeah I’ve had TOTP for years on my account and it’s still working fine, no financial transactions made, so…
