Apps that have the option to receive "all" your messages (basically fb messages and sms in this case) usually ask for this permission. Hangouts has this as well. You'll even find it on apps like Avast and Prey, that can be operated using sms. (Not saying that I know for certain it isn't malicious, but I know it's not that uncommon)

Not sure if you serious?
Are you aware of Facebook's privacy policy and practices?

I am aware, but what are you sharing / talking about on whatsapp? CIA codes? or finding out if to buy bread before you reach home?
I don't think anyone cares what you were saying to that guy on whatsapp or FB messenger last night.

besides, publicly stating your privacy policy and actual practice is two different things as can be seen by the NSA. Once you are using the system you are not private.

This doesn't sound good. I really don't like Facebook. I think it'll be the end of Whats App. I'll revert to regular SMS on the local network.

Bbm wouldnt have died if they were not platform specific. Hi5 and myspace are still in use just like icq. Because you dont use it doesnt mean it is not still in use
