Your WhatsApp conversations may not be as private as you believed.
iOS researcher Jonathan Zdziarski wrote in a blog post Thursday that he has discovered the messenger program is retaining traces of your deleted messages.
The company rolled out end-to-end encryption in April for its users, meaning that your message stays private while traveling between devices. WhatsApp doesn't claim to have self-destructing messages, but it does claim: "Deleted messages are permanently deleted from your phone."
Zdziarski shuts this claim down on his blog. He writes:
"Sorry, folks, while experts are saying the encryption checks out in WhatsApp, it looks like the latest version of the app tested leaves forensic trace of all of your chats, even after you’ve deleted, cleared, or archived them… even if you “Clear All Chats”. In fact, the only way to get rid of them appears to be to delete the app entirely."
Less than ideal. Zdziarski said the company doesn't appear to be intentionally retaining the data, but his tests on archived, deleted and cleared messages showed that something was amiss. On all tests, the data behaved exactly the same.
This means that forensic information of the message remains on the user's phone, and can be recovered and reconstructed back to its original form, according to Zdziarski. This would be of some worry if you lost your phone and someone wanted to restore your messages, such as law enforcement.
This is not an unusual thing to happen to iPhone apps, Zdziarski explained. He said that a user should take into account the amount of data an app leaves behind. He claimed that iMessage has exactly the same problem that it is spread across every device you have accessed your messages on.
"Signal leaves virtually nothing, so there’s nothing to worry about. No messy cleanup. Wickr takes advantage of Apple’s CoreData and encrypts their database using keys stored in the keychain (much more secure)," Zdziarski wrote. "Other apps would do well to respect the size of the forensic footprint they’re leaving."
He offered a couple of solutions for users to consider for extra privacy. Firstly, create a really strong password on your phone. Secondly, disable your iCloud backup as it does not honor encryption. And lastly, periodically delete the app from your phone to clear out the message data completely.
"Simply preserving deleted data on a secure device is not usually a significant issue, but when that data comes off the device as freely as WhatsApp’s database does, it poses a rather serious risk to privacy. Unfortunately, that’s what’s happening here and why this is something users should be aware of," Zdziarski added.
WhatsApp and Apple have been contacted for comment.
A Qantas flight in Australia was delayed for more than two hours due to a concerning Wi-Fi hotspot name.
According to The West Australian, a passenger on QF481 spotted a Wi-Fi hotspot titled "Mobile Detonation Device" and advised a crew member. It wasn't clear what mobile device it was linked to or where the device was located.
The crew member informed the captain, who then broadcast a message to passengers. Passenger John Vidler told the publication the pilot said the device needed to be located before the flight could depart.
"He said there was a device on the plane that had a name on it that he found threatening and that we were not leaving until that device was brought to him," Vidler said.
Another passenger, who remained anonymous, told Yahoo!7 the incident was connected to a hotspot that came up in the in-flight entertainment system.
"The pilot said a particular passenger had gone to log on and a hotspot name has come up with one which was a scare to Qantas and passengers," he said. "After half an hour no one came forward, the Wi-Fi covered a fair distance so could've been someone in the terminal."
The 6:50 p.m. flight was on the tarmac in Melbourne when the incident occurred. It was eventually cleared by security for flight and departed for Perth at 9:55 p.m. local time. It landed safely in Perth at 11:15 p.m. Perth time.
Qantas confirmed an incident took place on the flight, and advised the plane was eventually cleared for flying. "A passenger raised a concern during boarding which was looked into by our crew and security team. They found no safety or security risk to the aircraft," a Qantas spokesperson told Mashable Australia via email.
Some passengers were uneasy after hearing the announcement and decided to disembark the aircraft. Qantas reportedly was happy to cater to these passengers. As they had luggage on board, this added to the delay.
"Some passengers elected not to travel so there was a delay as bags were taken off and those passengers disembarked," the Qantas spokesperson advised.
More than 15 years ago, life Down Under was made up of horrible ringtones, Crazy John's and 2G. It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.
Asking your parents for a mobile phone was like bidding for the Olympics. You'd spend weeks and months trying to convince them that you were responsible enough to have one. You'd promise you wouldn't run up crazy bills. You'd promise it was going to be useful.
Deep down though, having a mobile was actually just a way to look cool in front of everyone else in your class who already had one. Some spoiled kids even had two.
Owning a phone as an Australian kid in the 2000s was not an easy feat, there were ringtone and wallpaper ads everywhere you looked and apps weren't even a thing. It was a time when you didn't have to track your insane data use or waste hours face swapping. Things were simple then.
Let's take a walk down memory lane. A time when life was pure and clunky.
You owned a Nokia 3315 at some stage, the 2G phone everyone had
As strange as it seems, the Nokia 3315 was kind of like the iPhone of its day. Not because it was the phone company's main product, but rather that everyone — you, your sister, your aunt, your best friend — had a 3315 at some stage.
It's not like the 3315 was that much different to other phones available at the time, anyway. It made calls, sent texts and had the game Snake. All of life's essentials in one plastic package.
You owned a phone on a now-defunct network and bought it from a store that no longer exists
The risk of signing up to these no-name carriers would be offset by the fact that some of these carriers gave away knick-knacks like headphones or cases with your pre-paid phones. If you signed up to Three you could even attempt to video call someone like it wasThe Jetsons, even though there were only about 5 pixels in the entire picture.Orange, Three, GRL Mobile, Soul, B Digital. They're the names of Australian mobile carriers long gone, now a distant memory, resigned to the short book of mobile phone history.
You bought these phones from now-defunct phone retailers such as Crazy John's, who had a long-running naming dispute with Crazy Ron's. The battle over selling $200 pre-paid Nokia phones to parents of grumpy teens really got intense.
You bought ridiculously expensive wallpapers, games and ringtones
If you wanted to be hipper than young Jimmy whose parents had given him a new Nokia for his birthday, there was only one way to do it: buying obscenely overpriced ringtones, plus some sick games and wallpapers.
For playground fame, you'd have to stump up $5 of your credit for a 10-second monophonic or polyphonic melody of some Eminem song or an hilarious fart sound. If you felt like splurging, you could buy a crummy Java game, or get yourself a Playboy wallpaper because it was totally a good idea at the time.
One thing that sucked during these blissful days were the "FREE RINGTONE" ads, which actually turned out to be an unsavoury subscription service that would charge you $10 a week. Ouch. Yes, the 2000s was the best time to be a company selling ringtones.
The horror of Crazy Frog
Who could forget that little monster, Crazy Frog? Surely, that was the most despicable thing that's ever graced popular culture in the 2000s. Relive the agony, right here.
Running out of credit was the absolute worst
A time before apps and Wi-Fi, the days and weeks of having no credit would be like utter hell — because you couldn't text your friends. Trying to beg your parents for more credit would rarely end well, so you had to get pretty good at your manipulation skills or do an extra shift at the local Woolies.
Your accessories were incredibly tacky
Don't you miss the days of these sexy phone cases? The best ones were plastered with your teen idols such as Christina Aguilera or Blink 182, or perhaps even Betty Boop or a Ferrari logo, because you were heaps classy like that. You might have even had phone charms attached, or an LED keypad that would light up when someone rang. You stylish thing.
They just don't make phone accessories like they used to.
Snake II was the go-to game
Before Angry Birds and Fruit Ninja, Snake II was the game that you could distract yourself with in class. Those magical blips were a sound to behold, as your pixel snake grew ridiculously long before you pressed 2 instead of 4 and crashed into a wall and died.
The Motorola RAZR was so freaking cool
Remember when the Motorola RAZR came out? In the commercial breaks during The O.C.you'd be hoping, wishing, waiting that you could get yourself an ultra-slim and very expensive Motorola RAZR.
Then Apple's iPhone came out, and everyone suddenly forgot why they wanted one. Goodbye Moto.
Here's your chance to own a piece of automotive history: British supercar maker McLaren Automotive has announced that it will be selling one of the last F1 supercars ever built.
This is momentous for several reasons. First, only 64 F1 road cars were ever produced during the 1993 to 1998 production run. What's more, this one, which was built in 1998, is one of only six made that year.
This one, chassis number 69 was never sold to a private owner. Instead, it was kept in the McLaren collection and maintained by the McLaren Special Operations (MSO) team. Although it has 2,800 miles on the odometer, this one is essentially a brand-new 1998 F1.
First off, the driver sits in the center of the car with two passenger seats flanking him or her on either side, as you might be able to tell from the interior photo. Also, it was the first car of its kind to be constructed from carbon fiber.For those who aren't familiar with the F1, it was more than just a rare 1990s supercar. It broke the supercar mold in many ways.
As for what it will sell for, the sky is truly the limit. British actor Rowan Atkinson, best-known for his role as Mr. Bean, sold his twice-crashed F1 last summer for $12.24 million. Not long after, another 1998 F1 was auctioned for $13.75 million.Perhaps most important, though, is its 627 horsepower 6.1-liter V12 engine , which was an enormous amount of power in the 1990s. With this mountain of horsepower under its body, the F1 was able to break the record for fastest production road-car, hitting 242.8 mph, which is still near the top of the all-time fastest car charts, 23 years later.
So, given the fact that this one has remained in the McLaren collection and is one of the last, I'd wager it'll fetch a bit more than those two. If you'd like to inquire on pricing, you can email McLaren at specialoperations@mclaren.com for further details about McLaren F1 #069 .
Airbnb prides itself on offering more than accommodation. The short-term rental platform refers to the hosts and guests that rent out and stay in homes around the world as a "community." But a community is rarely without problems.
On Friday, NPR hosted a Twitter chat with the hashtag #AirbnbWhileBlack. Airbnb's service — which includes the photos and names of travelers looking for accommodation — has been in the spotlight because of alleged discrimination by hosts against non-white guests.
The conversation builds on a Harvard Business School study in 2014, which found that "African-American sounding names were roughly 16% less likely to be accepted than their white-sounding counterparts."
Airbnb lists its anti-discrimination policy on its website, stating the company prohibits "content that promotes discrimination, bigotry, racism, hatred, harassment or harm against any individual or group, and we require all users to comply with local laws and regulations."
But while the service can enforce rules against what listings say, enforcing non-discrimination is more complicated: A host could have nothing discriminatory in their listing but refuse booking requests from travelers they either consciously or subconsciously have a bias against.
"We are committed to making Airbnb one of the most open, trusted, diverse, and transparent communities in the world. We recognize that bias and discrimination present significant challenges, and we are taking steps to address them," Airbnb's Head of Diversity and Belonging David King told Mashable in an email. "We welcome the opportunity to work with anyone that can help us reduce potential discrimination in the Airbnb community
Some people, however, said they had not experienced discrimination on the platform.
Several people said that Airbnb's Instant Book feature had been useful, as it removes the interaction in which a host could pass on a guest because of their photo or name.
Other travelers said that, when traveling in a group, they sought to avoid discrimination by having the most white-looking person with the most white-sounding name make the booking request, in a nod to the Harvard Business School study.
In the past year, Airbnb has provided training to employees for recognizing unconscious bias, and last month announced the hiring of King.

I’m talking about Apple marketing boss Phil Schiller taking to Twitter to finally answer the age-old question of how to correctly refer to multiple iPhones, er iPhone devices.
It all started when Benedict Evans posted a podcast with a caption referring to “iPads Pro,” pluralizing the device like one would pluralize “Attorneys General.” After a brief back and forth, someone summoned Schiller to end the debate once and for all.
Hmm. So according to Schiller (and by association, Apple), it’s wrong to say something like “I have two iPhones.” Instead, we should say “I have two iPhone,” or “I have two iPhone devices.
But this sounds so awkward! Unfortunately, like most things Apple, the company seems to be set in their ways, and will always say something like “iPhone devices” in their press releases.
In all seriousness though, it’s great to see Schiller interacting with Apple fans and developersvia his Twitter. Not only is it a useful source of information, but shows customers a more personal side of Apple’s executives that is usually reserved only for keynotes.
This week was the official one-year anniversary of the Apple Watch. I've owned one for almost all of that time, and — like many tech journalists and gadget commentators — I believe it's worth reflecting on what the Apple Watch has meant to the tech world, the wearables category, and Apple.
I didn’t actually get my Apple Watch until May 5. The reasons for that 11-day delay have to do with poor band choices and a a big chunk of FOMO, but 51 weeks is still enough time to write a reflective analysis.
Let's talk about apps
A lot of us thought apps would end up making or breaking the Apple Watch. A year later, I have to admit that I use very few non-native apps on the Apple Watch.
Part of that is because of how apps on the watch work. In the first six months the watch was available, the non-native app experiences on the watch were slow. The slowness of these apps — coupled with the staggered rollout of the watch itself — was my chief complaint/fear about the Apple Watch, one month into using the device.
After announcing watchOS 2.0 in June 2015, Apple rolled it out in September, which allowed developers to build faster watch apps that were native to the device.
WatchOS 2 was a good step forward, but coming five months into the product’s life cycle, I do wonder how much it hurt developer momentum, in turn crippling Apple Watch app quality.
As it stands, a lot of companies were quick to jump on the Apple Watch bandwagon, but a year in, there still aren’t many third-party apps I use regularly or can even name.
Part of the reason I don’t use Apple Watch apps is speed. Even with watchOS 2’s native code, loading an app and opening it up can often take more time than just grabbing my phone, which is always by my side anyway. And with a few exceptions, I haven’t really run into any apps that I feel offer a truly superior wrist experience.
IMAGE: LUKE LEONARD/MASHABLE
That said, I do enjoy a number of the built-in apps. The Music app is great and I often like to use it to control what I’m listening to while running. I also love having my calendar on my wrist.
As with the Pebble smartwatch, the true “killer app” for the Apple Watch is notifications. I love getting notifications on my wrist. I like getting alerted that my Uber is ordered and on its way, my Postmates is at the door. I also like being able to answer or decline phone calls from my wrist.
And I love having iMessage on my wrist. Depending on the type of notification, you can often reply right on the watch, which is great. This can be as simple as marking an email as “read” or flagging it. Using Siri, I can even respond to a text message.
I didn’t buy the Apple Watch as a fitness device, but I do think the Activity feature is one of its strongest features. Each day, I’m motivated to earn my circles for standing at least once every hour. I also like seeing how many calories I’ve burned and how many minutes I’ve spent exercising.
The health and exercise functions aren’t demonstrably different form what I could do on a Fitbit, but the interface of the Apple Watch is better.
Still, I can’t help but be disappointed that the app story on Apple Watch hasn’t turned out better. I do think there are probably more compelling ways I could use my Apple Watch that I haven’t. That's partly because app discovery — a problem across the App Store — isn’t great on the watch.
But truthfully, I also think we’ll need more powerful hardware to really do some intersting things on the wrist. The big question I have, however, is: A year in, do developer’s still care?
Battery life
A chief complaint when the Apple Watch launched was that it offered just a day of battery life. Especially when compared to the Pebble or Pebble Time, this wasn’t great.
I’ve found I wear my Apple Watch from about 30 minutes after I wake up to about 30 or 45 minutes before I go to bed. Although I have to charge my watch every day, I do get a full day of battery life from the watch.
That doesn’t mean there haven’t been moments when the watch has died before the day has ended. And I keep an extra charger on my desk just in case I need a quick charge.
IMAGE: LUKE LEONARD/MASHABLE
As critical as many of us were about the battery life limitations at launch, a year later, I don’t actually think it's been that big of a deal. Provided you take your watch off anyway, the real trick is just to find a good/consistent place to charge it each night.
I will say that traveling with the watch charger has proven to be more of a challenge. There are some smart accessories that make the process easier, but the reality is that when I go on a trip — even for a day — I need to make sure I have my Apple Watch charger packed too.
Style
When I think about how much money I’ve spent on the Apple Watch in the last year, both on the watch itself and the various bands I’ve purchased, the figure is over $1,000.
If I try to rationalize that as a tech purchase, that’s actually sort of difficult. I really like my Apple Watch, but was it worth as much as I spent on my iPad Pro?
Oddly, I have a much easier time rationalizing the price when I consider that for me, as a woman, this product was every bit as much of a fashion accessory as it was a tech gadget.
In that realm, $250 on a watchband isn’t that ridiculous. Similarly, I don’t mind spending $50 a pop on various sport bands.
Even after a year, I still get compliments on my watch on a frequent basis. I recently moved to anew color band (for Spring) and get compliments all the time.
Not everyone loves the Apple Watch’s design, but for me, a year later, it’s something I’m not embarrassed to wear on my wrist. Plus, I get a kick out of customizing my band based on my outfit.
Has it changed my life?
Over the last year, I’ve worn my Apple Watch (the 38mm stainless steel version) nearly every single day. Part of this is because after spending more than $800 on the accessory, I wanted to be sure to get my money’s worth.
But it also quickly became a habit and something I’ve grown accustom to having on my wrist.
Still, if asked, “Has this changed my life?" the short answer is, “No, no it hasn’t.”
I wear my watch almost every day but I should note that if I forget to put my watch on in the morning and I don’t realize until I’m already outside my apartment, I’m not going to turn back around to retrieve it. I tend to reserve those sorts of moments for my keys, my wallet and my iPhone.
But that isn’t to say I don’t miss the watch when it’s not on. I love getting notifications on my wrist. I like getting reminders to stand up and affirmations for reaching my exercise and calorie goals.
And frankly, as a watch, I use it quite a bit. It’s also nice to quickly glance at my wrist to see the weather or what appointments I have coming up.
So yes, I miss the Apple Watch when I’m not wearing it, but I’m not someone who has had a transformational experience from the watch. I prefer wearing it, but if I forget it for a day? Well, I still have my phone.
And frankly, that’s probably the biggest challenge Apple will continue to face with the Apple Watch: convincing people to allow an accessory that is nice, but not life changing, onto their wrist.
Looking forward
We’re already hearing a number of rumors about the next Apple Watch, which is reportedly planned for a September release.
Potential cellular connectivity aside (something I’m not convinced is wanted or needed), many of these rumors point to subtle changes rather than a huge overhaul.
Earlier this month, my colleague Lance Ulanoff argued that minor updates aren’t enough and that Apple needs to do more to get the price down and target teen consumers.
I agree on the price point (getting the watch down to the $199 mark for the Apple Watch sport would be huge), but I’m OK if the watch has only minor cosmetic updates.
Where I strongly agree with Lance is that some of the interface decisions need to be rethought. Part of the reason I don’t use apps on my watch — in addition to the slowness — is because the interface, even a year in, is often not as intuitive as it should be.
I would love to see Apple do a lot of work into the experience of the watch better and more robust.
I would also like to see Siri on the watch — something that often works quite well — to be expanded. I should be able to open apps with Siri or complete other tasks. I want to be able to talk to my watch the same way I can talk to my Amazon Echo.
For now, however, I’ve enjoyed my year with the Apple Watch. It’s not the perfect wearable — and it hasn’t changed my life — but I don’t want to take it off.
With yet another push from President Obama to revive initiatives to develop “smart gun” technology, it looks like it’s time to revisit the issue once again.
The most common question I got in response to myprevious piece on smart guns is, “why is the NRA so opposed to them?”
The NRA’s official position is that they don’t care one way or the other about smart gun tech, and that the market should decide, but we all know that’s baloney. The NRA, along with the vast majority of rank-and-file pro-gun people, hate smart guns, and will do everything in their power to sabotage smart gun efforts.
So the question is, why?
The simple answer to this question is widely known, but also widely misunderstood.
Most who follow this issue know that the NRA hates smart guns because they’re afraid that once a seemingly viable smart gun technology exists, anti-gun legislators at the state and federal levels will attempt to mandate it in all future guns by comparing it to seat belts, air bags, and other product safety features.
If you read my previous piece on the problems with smart guns, then you hopefully understand the differences between a seat belt and smart gun tech, and why the prospect of having smart technology forcibly included in all new firearms drives gun nuts into apoplectic fits.
But maybe you’re thinking, “that’s fine, then. We just won’t mandate it. There will be no mandate. There, you happy now? Can we just get on with the smart gun innovation and let this play out in the market?”
Here’s the thing, though: the NRA is actually right, in this case. If smart guns get any traction, then non-smart-guns will come under legislative assault.
I realize some of you went into shock and stopped reading after you saw the phrase “NRA is actually right” appear on TechCrunch, but if you’re still with me then give me a moment to explain.
The Series of Tubes
Guns are a technology, and, like most members of the general public, gun control advocates arethoroughly confused about how guns operate outside of Hollywood — as in, “the Internet is a series of tubes“-level confused. It’s hard for me to overstate just how bad it is out there, even among much of the gun-owning public.
But maybe you grew up on a farm, you had a little hunting rifle, you went to the range a few times and shot a pistol, and so on. And you’ve seen lots and lots of movies with guns in them. Even so, unless you have a background in the military, law enforcement, or executive protection, or have undergone a decent amount of civilian training in real-world defensive use of firearms, then you know as much about guns as a teen with a brand new learner’s permit knows about steering an 18-wheeler through downtown Chicago in rush-hour traffic.
It’s bad that the general public — including the majority of casual gun owners — are so confused about guns that they don’t know how much they don’t know. But what’s worse, at least if you’re a gun person, is that lawmakers and activists who know less than nothing about guns often find themselves in a position to confidently enshrine their technological ignorance into law.
This, then, is what the NRA is terrified of: that lawmakers who don’t even know how to begin to evaluate the impact of the smallest, most random-seeming feature of a given firearm on that firearm’s effectiveness and functionality for different types of users with different training backgrounds under different circumstances will get into the business of gun design.
And they’re right to be afraid, because it has happened before.
If you'll be far away from mom this Mother's Day, fear not. You can still give her a special experience from afar.
Go beyond the "Have a good one!" phone call and plan a fun day with your mom, with a little help from technology.

Just like picking out any other gift or experience, think about what your mom would appreciate in particular. Everyone is different, so do whatever you think she'd like best. After all, she's your mom.
1. Choose a great gift.

IMAGE: CHELSEA FRISBIE/GIFTAGRAM
Getting your mom the perfect gift can be really difficult. If you're clueless, Giftagram (free, iOS and Android) has some incredible deals and a variety of choices to help you pick. They add new ideas added every week. Gifts range from Kate Spade to flowers from The Bouq. Once you choose and include a personalized message, your mom will receive an email or text confirmation for her address. Your gift will be shipped in 3-5 days, just in time for Mother's Day.
2. Opt her in for a subscription service.
Make Mother's Day a monthly occurrence by gifting your mom a subscription service. There are services for nearly every kind of mom: ClubW is great for Wine Moms, ipsy and Birchbox are great for Beauty Moms, and don't forget Barkbox for the Pet Moms. Whatever kind of mom you have, she will appreciate a small treat every month.
3. Have a long video chat.
IMAGE: GETTY IMAGES
Especially if you're not the best at carving out time, it would mean a lot for you to give her an hour, maybe more, just to talk. Skype is a really easy app to use if mom doesn't have an iPhone, and FaceTime isn't an option. Snapchat and Facebook also have their own video chat tools, if your mom is hip to social media.
4. Surprise mom in person (last-minute flights).
If you have the budget for it, nothing is better than a surprise visit home — trust us, mom's love that stuff. While last-minute flights aren't always the cheapest, you can find some pretty good deals by using apps like Airfare Watchdog. Check out other ways you can nab a cheap flight.
5. Send her a countdown of the next time you'll see one another.
IMAGE: CHELSEA FRISBIE/COUNTDOWN
We love the Countdown!! app (free, iOS and Android). Their personalized calendars track events we have to look forward to. You can send your your mom the update every day via Facebook message or email, customize it with your own pictures, and add music. A great idea would to be to send a Countdown!! page without telling her what it means, or adding a description, and letting her figure out what it is counting down to (a.k.a an unplanned visit from you).
6. Send her a care package.
IMAGE: CHELSEA FRISBIE/SESAME
IMAGE: CHELSEA FRISBIE/SESAME
Especially if she was the kind of mom to send them pre-finals during your undergrad, this is a really sweet idea. Use the Sesame app if you need help building a theme. The app curates local and specialty products, ranging from food to spa packages, to create a cute set for any occasion. We love the "Under $30" selections because, hey, we're all on a budget.
Pinterest allows you to create "group boards," so you and your friends, or your mom, can pin together. It's a fun way to stay connected and have a long-distance creative jam session together. Plan out the next family get together, a wedding or all of those fitness routines you two will totally hold each other accountable for.
8. Become your mom...kind of.
IMAGE: CHELSEA FRISBIE/SNAPCHAT
Use Snapchat's new Face Swap option to turn yourself into your mother. Here's one I made using a picture I have of her on my camera roll. This can be a funny way to say, "Hey mom, I know I'm turning into you already, but here's the actual proof!"
9. Watch your favorite flick together.
It's getting easier and easier to enjoy content together, even from far away. We love Gaze, which allows you both to watch a movie from a video streaming site (Netflix, YouTube, Hulu, etc.) or your own files, while video chatting. It also syncs so if one of you needs to pause, they both pause.
