WhatsApp over a billion users on its platform sharing
information through texts, images, videos and other content. To make it more
private, the company has brought options such as the ‘Last seen’ feature and
more. This prevents others from pinging you continuously and gives you a
breather from the app.
But Lifehacker recently found a new app that can let your
WhatsApp friends spy on you even with all the security features in place. The
app called Chatwatch, as the name indicates, watches when you are online on the
messaging platform and gives others an insight.
It has been mentioned that the app, which is available for
iOS and Android, uses WhatsApp’s public online and offline status feature to
let others know when they check WhatsApp every day and even finds out if the
two WhatsApp contacts (given by you) chat with each other or not.
“Use Chatwatch to monitor your friends, family or employees'
Whatsapp online/offline activity. Even when their "Last Seen" is
hidden,” says the company website. “Find out when they went to bed, how long
they slept… Even compare chat patterns between people you know, and we will
tell you the probability of them talking to each other during the day, using
Artificial Intelligence. Yep, we made it happen,” adds the site.
As mentioned by The Next Web, the app takes up to 24 hours
before it starts showing results. Although to would have to pay $2 (Rs 140 on
Android in India) if only the app was still there on Apple App Store. Yes, the
company has removed the app from the company’s app market. Chatwatch is unaware
why this happened. “For reasons unknown to us, Apple has suspended our app from
the app store. We are working on a web version to launch tomorrow the latest,
and appealing the decision with Apple,” states the company’s website.
