Re: [Full-disclosure] whatsapp opening url in background

["Ander Juaristi Alamos" <ajuaristi@xxxxxx>]

Hi Frank,

I just received a URL via Whatsapp from a friend, and I haven't noticed that 
behavior. What's more, I don't remember if I ever noticed it.

Could you post more precise reproduction steps, please? How did you notice that 
the URL was opened in background?

Thanks.

Asunto: [Full-disclosure] whatsapp opening url in background

Hi List, i wonder about url opening in background in whatsapp. I am using an 
android phone. If i send a url to some other user(with android) in whatsapp my 
whatsapp and the the other user is opening the url in background without any 
user interaction. Is this normal? I could reproduce this only on android. Not 
on ios. Is this a android problem or a whatsapp problem? Sounds very strange 
and insecure for me. regards, Frank
