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.

Curiosity: what happens if Telegram want some alias that is already used by other user?

Curiosity: what happens if Telegram want some alias that is already used by other user? ℹ️ @geeksChannel
✳️ TELEGRAM | CURIOSITIES ✳️

Sometimes Telegram creates channels in order to use them for official purposes (like @username, @desktop., @ISISwatch..). But sometimes, alias is not available because is taken by other user.

❓ But, what happens in that case?
➑️ Telegram expropriates you the alias.

For example, look what happened with @androidThemes, yesterday was a channel ruled by someone, and today he noticed that his alias was moved to @androidThemes_mv.

The bad part of this is that in this particular case Telegram did not notify creator.

WikiLeaks Vault7 leaks confirms CIA can effectively bypass Signal + Telegram + WhatsApp + Confide encryption https://wikileaks.org/ciav7p1 ℹ️ @geeksChannel
These techniques permit the CIA to bypass the encryption of WhatsApp, Signal, Telegram, Wiebo, Confide and Cloackman by hacking the "smart" phones that they run on and collecting audio and message traffic before encryption is applied.

Durov was mentioned in a Wired post about online privacy:

Meet the innovators fighting for your right to privacy online

As Facebook increasingly reached further into the personal data of its users, Durov, with personal experience of the power of the surveillance state, placed himself firmly on the side of the privacy advocates. In 2013 he launched the encrypted messaging app, Telegram. In addition to perfect forward secrecy - ensuring key compromise won't reveal the content of previous communications - Telegram supports self-destructing messages and public key fingerprint verification.
