There is a new bug on WhatsApp which is not only disturbing but might also be considered as a severe breach of privacy by a lot of users. Apparently, many users complained that they were still able to receive messages from users whom they had previously blocked. These blocked users were also able to see the stories of the people who had blocked them. As expected, a lot of people were shocked and taken aback when such a serious bug surfaced on WhatsApp. An application which is very heavily used, all over the world. ??A lot of users on WhatsApp use the blocking feature to restrict users from messaging them, the fact that the application was allowing these users to do the exact thing which the blockers did not want to happen was definitely a thing of concern not only for the users but for WhatsApp as well. As reported by WABetaInfo, the popular blog on WhatsApp which posts about the developments related to the messaging app, this wasn’t just a single time happening, but instead, a lot of users complained about the same issue.
Speculations suggest that this new bug might have crept in from the server side, also some are saying that the new privacy changes which WhatsApp made for complying with the GDPR in the UK might also be the reason that this bug was triggered.
