Group Chat on Google

WhatsApp so-called secure private messaging service is not so secure as per “Motherboard”. The private groups were visible by searching specific google searches. The results included many porn-sharing groups and some other secret groups. The groups were able to provide all personal information such as participants’ phone numbers.

Your WhatsApp groups may not be as secure as you think they are.

The "Invite to Group via Link" feature allows groups to be indexed by Google and they are generally available across the internet. With some wildcard search terms you can easily find some… interesting… groups. pic.twitter.com/hbDlyN6g3q

Group admins have the option to invalidate the group chat links but it generates a new link. It doesn’t disable the original link. Google didn’t publish any statement. But Facebook and WhatsApp published the below news while talking to The Verge.

Facebook / WhatsApp spokesperson Alison Bonny said in an email to The Verge that “like all content that is shared in searchable public channels, invite links that are posted publicly on the internet can be found by other WhatsApp users,” adding that “links that users wish to share privately with people they know and trust should not be posted on a publicly accessible website.”
