Technology Beware, WhatsApp will delete your account if you have these applications installed
Technology How to delete yourself from WhatsApp forever: uninstalling the app does not work
WhatsApp has introduced a new feature in its application that allows users to
send messages without depending on their mobile phone
.
This is a giant step for the instant messaging app owned by Facebook that, to date, made WhatsApp accounts strongly linked to a mobile terminal and a specific phone number.
To date, for a user to be able to
send or receive WhatsApp messages, they
need to have the application open (turned on and operational) on the mobile with which it was associated with an
internet connection and battery
.
However, thanks to the new changes, the application
will no longer have this strong link with a phone number
with the application open and connected to the Internet, as is currently the case with the WhatsApp web version.
The changes, currently available in a beta version for Android and very soon available for iOS and the general public, involve
the reconversion of WhatsApp into a real multi-device app
, as is currently the case with its competitor Telegram.
WhatsApp "even if the battery is dead"
This new
function will
allow you to send and receive messages "
even if your phone's battery is exhausted
."
Specifically,
WhatsApp can be used practically autonomously on up to four devices
(laptops, desktops, tablets or a mobile other than our main phone) without having to
depend on a single terminal
as is currently the case.
At the moment, the application is in the testing phase by a small group of users in charge of giving
feedback
to Facebook (the company that
owns WhatsApp
) in order to improve the functions of this application.
However, you will still need a card and a phone number to be able to
connect to WhatsApp.
WhatsApp adds security to your chats
Likewise, WhatsApp has been working for months on an
encryption system
that protects the backup copies stored in the cloud.
It is a function that is currently also in
beta
phase
and that will be incorporated to the general public in the
next final versions
.
To encrypt files in the cloud,
WhatsApp will ask users for a password
.
A password that, according to the company, will be totally private and they maintain that neither WhatsApp, Facebook, Google or Apple will know what it is.
That is, in the case of users who decide to encrypt their conversations and
forget their passwords, they will not be able to access their conversation history
, according to the
WABetaInfo
portal
.
Likewise, in addition to the password,
will offer the possibility of protecting the conversation histories with a
64-digit encryption key
.
However, as with the password, if the user loses it,
there will be no way to regain access
to their conversation history on your WhatsApp.
