Status PH

Isang bagay na kawili-wiling nangyayari ngayon sa isang pandaigdigang sukat para sa isang beses na binalewalang "text app". Ang pinaka malinaw, siyempre, ay ang katunayan na ang isang ligtas na app ng pagmemensahe ay hindi lamang tungkol sa pangunahing teksto - kung anong uri ng data na inaasahan nilang hawakan ay mabilis na umusbong.  Inaasahan ang modernong teksto ng app na hawakan ang lahat mula sa mga tawag sa video, sa paglilipat ng pera, sa impormasyon ng lokasyon, sa pagpapadala ng iba't ibang media. Sa kabutihang palad, kung paano ang mga apps (at ang mga imprastraktura at mga organisasyon sa likod nito) ay humawak ng malawakang labis na personal na impormasyon na ipinagpapalit ay nagbabago din ito sa mga oras.  Mas maraming mga tao ang maiintindihan na dapat nilang asahan na ang mga pribadong komunikasyon ay, kumbaga, ito'y pribadong naka default - hindi bukas sa mga daldalero o tsismoso, sa mga hacker, o ibebenta sa pinakamataas na bidder ...

In version 1.3, Status catches up to the most important design trend in recent history with the introduction of a dark mode. Hyperbolic? Perhaps, but we’ve heard your requests and we made it happen. Your app’s appearance will now default to match your system settings, but if you’d like, you can head to  Profile  >  Appearance  to override it. Dark mode sure is easy on the eyes. Beyond that, we’re bringing back private groups, another highly requested feature. Private groups allow you to add up to 9 friends to an invite-only chat. At the protocol level, group chats in Status function similarly to 1:1 chats. They’re end-to-end encrypted by default and utilise perfect forward secrecy to protect your privacy. In the future, we’d like to expand these to host more than 10 members. We’ll embark on further testing to determine the upper limit that our current protocol can support. Lastly, we’ve changed our webview implementation over to the react-native-commu...

Something very interesting is happening on a global scale for the once taken-for-granted "text app". Most obviously, of course, is the fact that a secure messaging app isn't just about basic text anymore -   what   sort of data they're expected to handle has rapidly evolved. The modern text app is expected to handle everything from video calls, to money transfers, to location information, to sending various media. Fortunately,   how   those apps (and the infrastructure and organizations behind them) handle the increasingly vast troves of personal information being exchanged is changing with the times, too. Ever more people are coming to understand that they should expect private communications to be, well,   private   by default - not open to eavesdroppers, hackers, or for sale to the highest bidder on virtual auction blocks. This represents a dramatic shift in user expectations from just a few years ago, and it has far reaching effects for individual...
