Is A Popular App Sniffing Users’ Text Messages?

Millions of people are embracing free mobile messaging services like WhatsApp and Kik as a way to avoid outrageous carrier charges for texting. But now one user says he has evidence that the popular service WhatsApp engaged in an egregious breach of his privacy. The allegations -- if true -- are damning and suggest that WhatsApp is monitoring and interfering with its customers’ personal conversations. This would be like receiving a scolding voice mail from AT&T after recommending Verizon in a personal phone call.
