WhatsApp might be censored by Israely army

Posted on February 18, 2016 by Christine

After Facebook, it seems that in Israel the interest of the IDF Censor (which should be an independent body, but it’s headed by a military officer appointed by the political echelon) is oriented towards WhatsApp.

According to an interesting article posted on 972mag.com (a blog-based web magazine whose name is derived from the telephone area code that is shared by Israel and Palestine), the IDF Censor is trying to expand its control over new media, and is demanding that both police and first responders have their information supervised before they pass them to journalists through WhatsApp. The news follows a report by Army Radio made public on Tuesday.

Nowadays spokespeople in Israel (such as first responders or the police) often use WhatsApp to communicate with journalists and this popular instant messaging app is largely used by reporters to obtain their preliminary information. As reported this week by +972 Magazine, the IDF Censor is expanding its control not only over mainstream media, but also on private blogs, Facebook and other independent news and analysis sites.

The magazine states that with this kind of censorship the state has the only right to decide what is in the public interest. And a letter sent by the military censor’s office to the spokespeople operating WhatsApp groups for journalists seems to confirm this politic. That’s part of the content of the letter, which was obtained by Army Radio: “The censorship unit is entrusted with preserving the balance between the right to freedom of expression and the public’s right to know in Israel, and for that purpose we need to know what is happening in the country,”.

+972 Magazine asks a really interesting question: “How many journalists will follow up on a story they believe they can never publish? ” Especially if the Censor decides to tell the press which information can or cannot be reported. Currently only a non-profit and independent first responder service (United Hatzalah) has refused to add the censor to the WhatsApp groups, while the Israel Police spokeswoman declined to give any comments. +972 has asked directly to a representative of the IDF Censor’s office if this kind of censorship law represents a change in policy, and the reply was no.

What’s happening in Israel is not an isolated case (another eaxmple is China), and also in Europe – even if the situation is completely different – the use of WhatsApp is often regarded as dangerous because it could be used by terrorists.

WhatsApp in Europe – Facts and figures

Posted on February 17, 2016 by David

One of the most fascinating things about WhatsApp is its popularity in Europe. Even though the solution is often hailed as a cutting-edge messaging app for developing nations, it is almost as popular in some European countries.

The statistics prove that Europeans love WhatsApp and cannot get enough of it. Data provided by
Statista
proves that WhatsApp use is as widespread in some European countries as it is in the developing world. These numbers show just how popular WhatsApp is in the European Union:

70% of Spain’s Internet users also chatted on WhatsApp.

62% of Italians were WhatsApp users.

61% of the Internet users in the Netherlands were also utilizing WhatsApp.

57% of Germany’s Internet users were sending messages through WhatsApp.

Around 34% of people in the United Kingdom and Ireland were WhatsApp users.

How Divorce Can Teach Us about WhatsApp Marketing in Italy

These numbers show us that ecommerce entrepreneurs looking for a communications solution that can reach Europeans, including some of the world’s most affluent people, should definitely take a look at WhatsApp. The humble messaging app seems to be as popular in the land of high-speed trains and fine wine as it is in developing nations filled with oxcarts and muddy water.

WhatsApp also seems to be very well suited for some European cultures, including those of Spain and Italy. The Italian Association of Matrimonial Lawyers reported that WhatsApp evidence is now being used in 40% of the divorce cases in Italy, an article in Britain’s Independent indicates.

WhatsApp has actually encouraged the return of the Latin Lover, the Association’s President Gian Ettore Gassani told The Times of London. This would seem to indicate that WhatsApp is both a part of people’s lives and a behavior-changing solution. That obviously means its potential for marketing and other ecommerce applications is vast as people are willing to adopt it quickly.

Social Media Marketing in Europe

Persons that want to reach Italians where they live should definitely consider taking advantage of WhatsApp. One excellent means of using WhatsApp to market to Italians is to send pictures on it.

Risqué pictures of lovers sent through WhatsApp is one of the main uses of WhatsApp in Italian divorces, Gassani noted. Obviously, people willing to send out pictures of lovers would be willing to send out pictures of other items they like, such as cars, clothing, or shoes.

One way a fashion designer could get the word out about her creations in Italy would be to use a WhatsApp Broadcast List to send picture of them to Italian contacts. The idea would be to try to get the pictures to go viral. A fashion designer would want to reach Italians because that country still plays a disproportionate role in the world’s fashion business. Designs and products from Milan are still sold around the world.

Another would be to place pictures of them on Pinterest , which is a social media solution for pictures. People can post images to Pinterest, which are then shared with others.

Others that could take advantage of this kind of marketing would be artists, persons selling items such as antiques or cars, and professionals such as models. Anybody in an image-conscious business could use WhatsApp to reach people in Italy.

An Ideal Marketing Solution for Europe and the World

The popularity of WhatsApp in Europe could help ecommerce entrepreneurs with one of their biggest challenges: marketing to people in different countries with very different cultures.

Social media marketing efforts designed to reach Americans and Canadians often fall in flat for a variety of reasons. Europeans use different media socials; for example, Americans and Canadians seem to prefer Twitter and Facebook. North Americans are also more likely to connect to the Internet with a traditional desktop or laptop computer, while Southern Europeans are more likely to use a phone.

The way people view the Internet is often different as well. North Americans and Northern Europeans seem to view the Internet as primarily a source of information. Southern Europeans and people in some regions such as South America seem to see it as more of a communications channel.

One reason for this is how people connect to the net. Italians and Spaniards are more likely to connect through a smartphone. Swedes, Englishmen, and Americans are more likely to use a tablet.

A critical difference here is that Americans and Brits are more likely to get their information from a website, while Italians or Spaniards are more likely to get it from a phone. WhatsApp is also more effective in cultures that place a higher value on word of mouth and face-to-face contact, such as that in Italy.

Some people seem to prefer getting their information directly from an individual. Others seem to trust institutions or organizations more. This has to do with history and culture. Many Latins view most institutions as corrupt, so they place a greater store on individuals. People from English-speaking countries think in the reverse; they often view institutions as trustworthy and distrust individuals.

Tailor Marketing for Different Countries

What this means is that marketing and promotion efforts have to be tailored for different countries and different cultures. Formerly, only very large and rich companies like Coca-Cola and Volkswagen were able to do that.

Now individuals and small businesses can do the same thing by taking advantage of applications such as WhatsApp. WhatsApp Broadcast Lists in particular can now enable a person to create small-scale marketing efforts aimed at specific countries or groups. A marketer could create one list for Germany, one for the Netherlands, and one for Italy.

The material sent through these lists would be very different. It would be in different languages and emphasize different aspects of the product. Material sent to England might contain more written messages, and that sent to Italy would contain more pictures.

The popularity of WhatsApp in Europe could be a tremendous opportunity for marketers and ecommerce entrepreneurs. Those that learn how to market through WhatsApp in Europe should be able to leverage its power to market all over the world.

Posted on February 16, 2016 by Christine

You have certainly noted that recently WhatsApp developers have released many updated versions for the Android version of the app, and not so many for the other platforms that support this popular instant messaging app. And users of Symbian 40 and Nokia Asha devices (such as Nokia C3 or Nokia Asha 201) are not really so happy to be the last to receive new features and updates, but unfortunately they are not so many as those of other platforms.

That said, let’s see what changes with this latest update. To be honest also this time there aren’t noticeable changes, since this new 2.13.36 version of WhatsApp for Nokia Asha doesn’t really add any new feature, it only fixes some bugs and improves the app performances. Most of the updates are in the installation (.jar) file, where 1367 files have been modified. Also the size of the app is slightly different, 6KB smaller than the previous update. In addition, 75 files were removed while other 25 files have been added.

If you decide to download this latest version of WhatsApp for Nokia Asha, you will notice that a file named “hidden.res” appears in many directories and, here comes the good news (probably), there are some signals indicating that WhatsApp Web might reach soon Nokia Asha devices (the 565-anim-active-connections.png and the 565-scan-illustration.png). As usual, you can download this latest Beta update of WhatsApp for Nokia Asha for free, going to whatsapp.com/s40/beta/. If instead you prefer to install the stable version, you will have to wait because you can’t find it yet on the Opera Mobile Store.

You might not know that WhatsApp is preinstalled in the latest software for Nokia Asha 501, so when you have to update the app you simply need to go to Settings > Phone Update. The other Nokia devices which have Whatsapp preinstalled are Nokia 208 and Nokia 515, while you can install this useful instant messaging app on: Nokia S40 – Nokia 206 Single SIM and Dual SIM, Nokia 301 Single SIM Chat Edition and Dual SIM Chat Edition, Nokia Asha 201, Nokia Asha 205 Chat Edition, Nokia Asha 210, Nokia Asha 230 Single SIM and Dual SIM, Nokia Asha 300, 302, 303, 305, 306, 308, 309, 310, 311, 500, 501, 502, 503, C3-00, C3-01, X2-00, X2-01, X3-02 and X3-02.5.

Whatsapp for T-Mobile Dash

Posted on February 12, 2016 by admin

The T-Mobile Dash is a BlackBerry like mobile phone that features a small QWERTY keyboard at the base of the phone with a smaller screen at the top. The mobile phone also goes by the name of HTC Excalibur and originally hit the market on October 16, 2006.

Despite the age, it does have some nice features and it has the ability to use WhatsApp. It just requires a few additional steps from what a current model phone might require.

Tech Specs
The T-Mobile Dash is a T-Mobile exclusive phone in the United States, although it is available for other markets around the world. It uses GSM based cell technology and takes advantage of 3G EDGE and GPRS for data transmission.

The screen is 2.4 inches in diagonal size and a native resolution of 320 by 240. The device does offer Bluetooth and Internet browsing. The T-Mobile Dash supports microSD for additional storage on the device, such as music (it does offer MP3 audio playback). The digital camera is 1.3 pixels with video recording capability. Audio files can be recorded on the phone in AAC, AMR, MPR, WAV and WMA.

Downloading and Installing WhatsApp
The T-Mobile Dash does not have a native App store, so downloading the application directly is not an option. The phone came out before the existence of true application centers on mobile devices, but there is a work around for the phone.

First, a microSD card needs to be inserted. Without the card there is not enough memory on the device to support the larger application and still run the OS smoothly. The Internet browser on the phone should be launched and the user needs to go to this site:

It is designed for BlackBerry based mobile phones but works for the T-Mobile Dash due to the OS and programming similarities. Depending on the networking speed, it may take several minutes for the download to complete (it is recommended to connect over Wi-Fi if at all possible). Once the file has finished downloading it will appear as a folder on the desktop.

Select the folder to open the installation wizard. This walks the user through several steps, including the association of their mobile phone number. It can have some trouble scanning through the phone book on these devices, so a user needs to manually include the phone numbers once installation is complete. Once finished, the individual is able to use the application

WhatsApp for Android: finally the new 2.12.441 version brings a lot of new emojis

Posted on February 12, 2016 by Christine

android 2 12 441 new emojis WhatsApp has decided to give its many users another gift which was indeed much-awaited. The popular Facebook-owned instant messaging service app, after having increased the number of group members from 100 to 256, and having cancelled the subscription fee, now is gradually releasing a new Android version which contains tons of new emojis.

In fact, the new WhatsApp version 2.12.441 for Android users finally adds an updated emoji set. The newly reorganized emoji panel brings new symbols like the champagne bottle or the upside down face and even a new detective emoji. And, obviously, you will find the middle finger emoji too. Not to mention the symbol which we expect will be very used for Valentine’s: the new “heart exclamation mark” emoji.

But the update consists not only in new symbols, since also the tabs have been reorganized and as a result now you can find your favourite symbols more easily. Maybe you remember that the same update has already reached iOS users since iOS 9.1, and now, thanks to the support from Unicode 7 and 8, it has been possible to bring the same improvement to the Android platform.

It is still difficult to download this last update of WhatsApp for Android from the Google Play Store, so you need to be patient and wait another couple of days. But if you can’t wait to use this latest version of WhatsApp for Android you can always head to Android Police and download the APK file.

In fact, at the moment there is a little bit of confusion in the Google Play Store and you may be misleaded. That’s because on the Google Play Store you can already find the 2.12.449 version of WhatsApp for Android, but it still does not have the new emojis. That’s why we are suggesting you to get the 2.12.441 APK version. But we are sure that this nice and much-awaited update will be added soon, probably with a new version number, to the Play Store.
