BAD CHAT

WhatsApp ‘bug lets OTHER people read your texts’ – even if you’re complete strangers

This is seriously terrifying...

A WHATSAPP user has claimed that she's able to see someone else's messages in her own app.

This particular fail was spotted by Abby Fuller, an Amazon employee who works at the company's Amazon Web Services division.

She complained about the bug on Twitter, saying "this doesn't seem right".

"Logged into WhatsApp with a new phone number today and the message history from the previous number's owner was right there?!

"And now I'm wondering how many other times it's happened? Like does whoever has my old number now have MY WhatsApp history?"
