ZANU PF secretary for security Lovemore Matuke this week denied reports that he directed party organs to disband WhatsApp groups which were allegedly being used by some members to cause divisions in the party.
ZANU PF provincial spokespersons recently ordered members to disband the WhatsApp groups with immediate effect while threatening those defying the order with unspecified action.
Provincial leaders insisted that the directive to close them had come “from above.”
Speaking to <a href="https://www.theindependent.co.zw/local-news/article/200012026/whatsapp-gag-order-divides-zanu-pf">The Zimbabwe Independent</a> this week, Matuke said he never issued the directives. He said:
<blockquote>
Those reports are false. We are not aware of such a directive or even a recommendation from my department.
</blockquote>
The publication reported sources within the party as saying ZANU PF top brass could not monitor the activities of members in other WhatsApp groups.
Nigel Murambiwa, who is the ZANU PF Mashonaland West provincial secretary for information and publicity, is one of the provincial leaders who directed the disbandment of WhatsApp groups last weekend. He said:
<blockquote>
We did not just ban WhatsApp groups. There are rowdy groups that were formed prior to our internal primary elections and some of the losing candidates and disgruntled supporters of losing candidates are posting denigrating messages that seek to divide or put the name of the party into disrepute. Those are the ones we ordered our members to take down.
</blockquote>
Early this year, ZANU PF accused CCC supporters of hijacking constituency WhatsApp groups to campaign for their leader, Nelson Chamisa.
Meanwhile, President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s campaign teams have created WhatsApp groups and have been inviting voters to join the groups after clandestinely obtaining their mobile phone numbers.

Top ZANU PF Official Denies Banning WhatsApp Groups

WhatsApp has introduced a new feature called Chat Lock, allowing users to protect private messages with a password. The locked messages are stored in a separate folder and the sender’s name is hidden, even from people with access to the user’s phone.
This feature can be used to keep messages safe from unwanted attention, whether it’s for planning a surprise for a partner or organising a private job interview. WhatsApp, owned by Meta, aims to provide more privacy and security to its users with this new feature. WhatsApp said in a blog post:
<blockquote>
Our passion is to find new ways to help keep your messages private and secure. 
</blockquote>
To lock a chat in WhatsApp, users can tap on a one-to-one or group chat and select the lock option. This will prompt them to enter their device password or biometric, such as a fingerprint, to secure the chat. The locked chat will be stored in a separate folder, and its contents will be hidden in notifications. Users can access their locked chats by entering their phone password or biometrics. WhatsApp’s Chat Lock feature aims to provide enhanced privacy and security for users in various settings. It explained:
<blockquote>
This feature will be great for people who have reason to share their phones from time to time with a family member or those moments where someone else is holding your phone at the exact moment an extra special chat arrives. 
</blockquote>
WhatsApp’s Chat Lock feature is being rolled out today, with additional options to come in the next few months, according to the company’s blog post. The new options include custom passwords for chats and locking for companion devices.
WhatsApp recently announced that users can now link their account to up to four additional smartphones, allowing users to access their chats from multiple devices. Users can link their phones by scanning QR codes with their primary phone. This feature is beneficial for users who have different phones for work and personal use but want their chats in a single WhatsApp account.

WhatsApp Introduces Chat Lock To Protect Private Messages

CCC supporters have allegedly infiltrated ZANU PF constituency WhatsApp groups to campaign for their leader Nelson Chamisa, reported <a href="https://www.newsday.co.zw/local-news/article/200010384/ccc-hijacks-zanu-pf-campaign-platforms">NewsDay</a>.
President Emmerson Mnangagwa reportedly created scores of constituency-based WhatsApp groups after secretly obtaining voters’ mobile numbers and would post his campaign messages in the groups to lure voters.
But CCC members reportedly joined the same WhatsApp groups which were open to all registered voters and started campaigning for Chamisa and trolling ZANU PF.
The description of one of the ZANU PF WhatsApp groups was later changed to Chamisa Chete Chete (Chamisa only).
ZANU PF spokesperson Christopher Mutsvangwa accused CCC supporters of cyber-bullying, saying this will however not affect voting patterns. He was quoted by NewsDay as saying:
<blockquote>
We are being trolled. They are infiltrating our software. The WhatsApp groups were created by some ZANU PF members who wanted to interact with the people on behalf of the President. We have the support of people. Cyber war games against ZANU PF won’t work.
It will not affect the outcome of the poll. There are hardly a million on social media. The majority of Zimbabweans don’t have smartphones, especially in rural areas so social media won’t be effective to remove ZANU PF. Social media is not our main battlefront. It is just a sideshow.
</blockquote>
CCC CCC youth spokesperson Stephen “Sarkozy” Chuma told NewsDay that Mutsvangwa’s outbursts show that CCC has become the dominant party. Chuma said:
<blockquote>
It shows the dominance of our party. The social, political and economic crisis that is bedevilling the country has no political boundaries.
It is affecting everyone regardless of political affiliation. That is why everyone has become CCC. In the end, change is inevitable.
</blockquote>
Mnangagwa has been sending unsolicited constituency-based campaign SMS messages to voters and asking them to join his WhatsApp groups.
The Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) and Postal and Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (POTRAZ) have been accused of leaking details of registered voters to ZANU PF.
ZEC officials categorially denied giving ZANU PF citizens personal data, including phone numbers.

ZANU PF Accuses CCC Of Infiltration

WhatsApp has introduced a feature that allows a person sharing a Status to choose who can see the Status. 
The company announced the new features along with several other features this week. 
Said the company in a blog:
<blockquote>
<h2>Private Audience Selector</h2>
Every status you share may not always be right for all of your contacts. We’re providing you with the flexibility to update your privacy settings per status so you can choose who views your status each time you update it.
Your most recent audience selection will be saved and used as the default for your next status.
</blockquote>
Sharing statuses on WhatsApp is one of the most popular features of the app. The status disappears after 24 hours. People can share videos, photos, text, links, and other formats.
In Zimbabwe, WhatsApp is the most popular mobile app by far. Other popular mobile apps include Opera, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Instagram, ShareIt, and Bible apps.
<h2>Other new WhatsApp features introduced</h2>
<blockquote>
<h4>Voice Status</h4>
We’re introducing the ability to record and share voice messages up to 30 seconds on WhatsApp status. Voice status can be used for sending more personal updates, especially if you feel more comfortable expressing yourself by talking rather than typing.
<h4>Status Reactions</h4>
We’re adding status reactions to provide a quick and easy way to respond to status updates from your friends and close contacts. This was the #1 feature users wanted, following the launch of Reactions last year. You can now quickly reply to any status by swiping up and tapping on one of eight emojis. You can of course still reply to a status with text, voice message, stickers and more.
<h4>Status Profile Rings for New Updates</h4>
With the new status profile ring you’ll never miss a status from a loved one. This ring will be present around your contact’s profile picture whenever they share a status update. It will be visible in the chat lists, group participant lists, and contact info.
<h4>Link Previews on Status</h4>
Now when you post a link on your status, you’ll automatically see a visual preview of the link content, just like when you send a message. Visual previews make your statuses look better, and also give your contacts a better idea of what the link is before they click.
</blockquote>

WhatsApp: You Can Now Choose Who Sees Your Status

WhatsApp made it possible for users of its app to message themselves. The feature is now available for people on Android, iPhones, KaiOS, and also on the web or the desktop app.

You can also forward messages to yourself.

TIP: You Can Now Message Yourself On WhatsApp

WhatsApp, the popular instant communication app owned by Meta that is used by many for quick texting is down. 
WhatsApp users in some parts of the world, including Zimbabwe, are currently unable to send and receive messages.
It currently seems impossible to send a message on WhatsApp groups, but personal chats also seem to be largely affected.
Outage detection website DownDetector confirms that WhatsApp is not working for thousands of users. 
WhatsApp Web also appears to be affected by the outage, and we can confirm that the app’s web client is simply not connecting anymore. 
WhatsApp Web is also not working, as people continue to wait for a fix for the outage.
WhatsApp is yet to share an official statement on the matter. 
<h2>Pindula News</h2>

WhatsApp Is Down For Thousands Of Users

WhatsApp has blocked about two (2) million accounts users breaking a little-known rule on the app intended to stop the spread of hoaxes.
These accounts were blocked in just one month for sending a “high and abnormal rate of messages”.
The company said over 95% of the bans were “due to the unauthorized use of automated or bulk messaging”, not regular texting.
Almost all the banned accounts are in India, WhatsApp’s biggest market with over 400 million users.
Bans were triggered when users forwarded messages too many times, blasting past the app’s strict new limit on how many times a message can be forwarded to other people or groups.
The limit, which was announced in April 2020, is in place to combat spam and the spread of viral rumours, photos and hoaxes. This is a huge problem in India, where many people rely on the app for news.
Messages containing “fake news” have been blamed for outbreaks of violence and murder across India.
WhatsApp said in a statement:
<blockquote>We are particularly focused on prevention because we believe it is much better to stop harmful activity from happening in the first place than to detect it after harm has occurred. The abuse detection operates at three stages of an account’s lifestyle: at registration; during messaging; and in response to negative feedback, which we receive in the form of user reports and blocks.</blockquote>
It added that it had not read any of the spam messages sent on the app because of <a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2021/01/12/whatsapp-privacy-policy-changes-some-are-worried/">its end-to-end encryption.</a>

Over 2 Million WhatsApp Accounts Blocked For Breaking New Rules

WhatsApp is rolling out support for voice and video calling to its desktop app, the messaging service said Thursday, TechCrunch reports.
However, the app will only support one-to-one calls, unlike Zoom and Google Meet which allows group voice and video calling.
Support for voice and video calls is not being extended to WhatsApp Web, the browser version of the service, at the moment, a spokesperson told TechCrunch.
WhatsApp said it will be expanding this feature to include group voice and video calls “in the future.”
The company also said video call for both portrait and landscape orientation, and the desktop client is “set to be always on top so you never lose your video chats in a browser tab or stack of open windows”.
Like the 100 billion messages that WhatsApp processes on its platform each day, voice and video calls are also end-to-end encrypted, it said.

WhatsApp Adds Voice & Video Calling To Desktop App

Facebook’s popular messaging app WhatsApp Messenger’s last seen checker is down and users have reportedly flooded Down Detector with reports that they cannot change the online status settings in the privacy settings.
According to Express, WhatsApp down reports are all over social media and users are affected differently as some are having connectivity issues while some cant view their contacts’ last seen or online status:
<blockquote>WhatsApp down reports are on the rise, with users of the hit chat app reporting issues accessing the last seen online status bar.
Independent outage monitor Down Detector has seen a huge spike in WhatsApp down reports today.
At the time of writing, Down Detector has registered a peak of almost 4,000 WhatsApp down reports.

WhatsApp Last Seen Checker Down, Users Report Private Settings Issue

<a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/WhatsApp" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">WhatsApp</a> will no longer be available on older versions of iPhones and Android smartphones with effect from February 1, 2020.
Users of phones running on Android versions 2.3.7 and older, and iPhones on iOS 8 or older will not be able to create new accounts or reverify existing accounts.
According to Techunzipped, one can find out which operating system their iPhone or Android uses:
<blockquote>To find out which operating system your iPhone uses, go to Settings, then General, then Software Update – your current version will be displayed there.
And if you use Android, you need to go to ‘Settings,’ then ‘About Phone’ and then ‘Software Info’.</blockquote>
Meanwhile, the development comes after WhatsApp discontinued supporting several devices on 31 December 2019.

WhatsApp Will No Longer Be Supported On These Phones On February 1

A few days ago, Bloomberg wrote an article that spoke about hacks that could actually alter chats after altering the identity of the sender. According to Bloomberg:
<blockquote>One uses the “quote” feature in a group conversation to change the appearance of the identity of a sender. Another lets a hacker change the text of someone else’s reply.</blockquote>
This is just one of the hacks that can actually alter your chats and that could be detrimental on all levels. A Nigerian blog has claimed that another hack which allows a person to send a private message to another group participant disguised as a public message to all, so when the targeted individual responded, it was visible to everyone in the conversation hit Nigeria a few weeks ago. According to Tech Point Africa:
<blockquote>Ayodele (not his real name), one of the affected WhatsApp users, confirmed that his phone number was changed and he was automatically removed from a WhatsApp group he belongs to. The supposed hacker then sent messages to the group about an investment that guarantees the investor receiving double of the amount invested within 30 minutes.
Several people the called to ask if Ayodele was responsible for sending messages about investing in a scheme on a WhatsApp group. This has been the experience of some Nigerian WhatsApp users in the past few weeks.</blockquote>
Its a possibility your app may be hacked. These few tips will help secure your app once and for all, you never have to worry about hackers any day of the week.
<h4>1. Enable 2 Step Verification</h4>
Enabling 2 step verification will ensure that no hacker will be able to gain unauthorised entry into your app:
<ol>
<li>In your app click on settings</li>
<li>Select account,</li>
<li>Choose two-step verification</li>
<li>Enter a 6-digit PIN.</li>
</ol>
<h4>2. If Your group is hacked, remove and readd the number of the member whose identity is being used by the hacker.</h4>
<h4>3. Do not use any unauthorised version of Whatsup as you will be subjecting yourself <a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2019/05/07/6-risks-you-are-subjecting-yourself-to-by-using-modified-versions-of-whatsapp/">to these 6 risks</a>.</h4>

WhatsApp Hacks: Here Is How To Protect Yourself

The popular messaging app, WhatsApp is currently experiencing problems worldwide with some users unable to download photos, videos and voice messages.

Reports indicate that other popular social media sites, Facebook and Instagram are down as well for some users.
Users in Europe, the US, South America Japan and India are said to be the most affected.
