• Nothing Chats, a rival to apps like Beeper and AirMessage, advertised itself as a secure platform for sending messages to iMessage users.
  • However, less than 24 hours after its launch, investigations into the app revealed that Nothing Chats logged every message in plain text and stored unencrypted data, including text messages, images, videos, and more, making it a significant privacy and security risk.
  • The company removed the app from the Play Store following these complaints, citing “several bugs” that need fixing.

      Wow that is crazy! How can anyone patent a corner? What next? Patent the square?

      That judgement should be thrown out along with the judge who made it!

      I’d like to see if Apple sue Nothing because I think they literally traced an iPhone on paper and then added gimmick lights. Even the lights look like an apple logo
