WhatsApp privacy threat, anyone can search your Whatsapp group link on Google

Other people can also know about the link to be sent to invoke WhatsApp group. This group invoice link is not very private. A simple search on Google will not only give information about these group links, but at the same time the information of the group members, phone number will also be known.

Journalist claimed
Jordan Willden, a journalist at Dieche Valle, has revealed this on Twitter. The report states that using WhatsApp's 'Invite to Group via Link' feature to add group admin members also increases the risk of privacy of group members and can be discovered through Google search.

Wilden found that Google indexes the URL of 'Invite to Group via Link' and can be found easily through the right search term. Search engines like Google easily find whatsapp group invite link shared online. Wrong users can access data by joining any private WhatsApp group through this link.

Google has 4,70,000 results
App reverse engineer Jane Wong has said that Google has 4,70,000 such results. When he searched chat.whatsapp.com on Google, he got 4,70,000 results. Most of them were invoices of private groups. In such a situation, if you think that your WhatsApp group is safe, it is not so.

Clearing up whatsapp team
WhatsApp spokesman Allison Boney has said on the matter that unaware users can search through search engines if the Invite link is shared on public channels. In such a situation, do not share the links that users want to privately share on any website.

Let us know that WhatsApp is a very popular messaging app. Facebook-owned WhatsApp has more than 2 billion users worldwide. The number of WhatsApp users in India is more than 400 million.
