✳️ WHATSAPP | BUSINESS ✳️
businesses are coming to WhatsApp, take a look at this words from WhatsApp's blog:
But as we announced earlier this year, we want to explore ways for you to communicate with businesses that matter to you too, while still giving you an experience without third-party banner ads and spam. Whether it's hearing from your bank about a potentially fraudulent transaction, or getting notified by an airline about a delayed flight, many of us get this information elsewhere, including in text messages and phone calls. We want to test these features in the next several months.

WhatsApp banned from sharing data with Facebook in Germany
WhatsApp threatened with legal action over Facebook data sharing deal:
The order “prohibits Facebook with immediate effect to collect and store data of German WhatsApp users”, according to a statement from the watchdog. “Facebook is also ordered to delete all data that has already been forwarded by WhatsApp”, it said.
The order had been taken out because the data sharing deal was never done with the agreement of users of the two companies, the watchdog said.

Why we should worry about WhatsApp accessing our personal information
Consumers have a right to be protected. That’s why my office, the information commission, has asked Facebook and WhatsApp to pause plans for data sharing
WhatsApp has revamped his website and is launching Status to celebrate its eighth anniversary.
Essentially identical to the "Stories" feature in Instagram and Snapchat, both of which allow users to share daily life updates with friends.
With WhatsApp Status, WhatsApp users can use the in-app camera to share photos or videos that can be annotated with emoji, text snippets, and drawings. Status updates can be shared with all contacts, rather than just individuals or specific groups, but there are also options to choose who is able to see what.

📶 Telegram is the messenger who consume less data
The Italian operator SosTariffe studied the statistics of traffic consumption among the most popular messengers, finding out which one consumes less mobile MB.
▶️ The benchmark was performed with the most popular applications for messaging:
— WhatsApp
— Telegram
— Google Hangouts
— Line
— Viber
— Facebook Messenger
— Skype
Experts have been testing for hours using LTE.
The results speak for themselves: Telegram consumes less data than the other messengers, while Skype and Facebook Messenger are recognized as the most uneconomical.
As you can see from the table below, Telegram is ahead of WhatsApp. The messenger of Pavel Durov is characterized by the low consumption of mobile traffic, with a score of 0.42 MB to 3.75 MB per 1 hour of usage, which is 35-40% less than Facebook messenger.
Other applications consume more than WhatsApp, which consumes from 0.65 to 6.23 MB per hour.
