Whats(goes)App must come down... World in shock as Zuck decides to intertwine Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp

Re: Damn

Yes the whatsapp backups are UNencrypted - and auto backup has been the default for awhile.

Xiaomi the money? OK, here's a one beeeeellion dollar loss ahead of IPO

Mobiles

Got a Xiaomi Mi A-1 - best phone I've had. Great price at GBP150 about 6 months ago. Great build quality. Simple & fast Android One. Gets security updates every month, already updated to Oreo, P to come. I'll buy the updated model in about a year, then another after another 2 years. And still be ahead!

Also have Xiaomi pens, WiFi repeaters, earphones, precision screw driver set (joint production with top class German toolmaker Wiha - a Red Dot product winner. And currently a bargain GBP15), night sensor lights, webcam, power banks, etc all of which are extremely well designed & manufactured - and are terrific value for money.

Only current problem, is waiting for the items, from the Chinese suppliers like BangGood or Gearbest, but at these prices and free delivery why argue? Roll on their European invasion.

The present big European fat cats should be very afraid.
