so I noticed that Meta put AI on WhatsApp I'm not interested in having Meta use my WhatsApp feed to train their LLM. Found an earlier version on apkmirror, installed that instead turned off auto update on Google play no AI now

Hi!

I work for a small company and keeping phones working is one of my responsibilities. I have seen accounts being hacked and I always see that the owner of the account received an SMS or call and they are tricked into sharing that code and that the account can no longer be accessed without verifying the account again.

I have now seen an account being hijacked in a way I haven't seen. This person didn't receive an SMS or call and instead of not being able to access the account any more it seemed to being shared with another device, I mean, sending several messages to the number would result in all messages being delivered (double check mark) but only some of them would show up in this telephone. Incoming conversations that would appear to be the result of answering someone's message would appear out of the blue.

Now I can not access this account anymore getting an error that states that I am using an unofficial WhatsApp version which I am not in more than one phone so I assume the account got banned and trying to get support from meta seems to be impossible.

Has anybody seen something like this?

Thanks!

Hi guys, I'm moving to another phone and I don't want to use Google Drive as I'm trying to get rid of it. Saw that WhatsApp have the transfer chats function with a QR code but I'm skeptical of it and afraid that won't work. I opened the option in the phone I would leave and says that must register to the new phone my number, so my doubt is: in that instance I must pull out the SIM card and put it on the new phone?

Yesterday I've tried without pulling, put my number, receive the security code but didn't have the courage to continue. In the next step would appear the QR code?

Anyone forced migrated to Whatsapp for Microsoft store? and how's your experience?
