After coming to the market, nothing is doing well. In just over two years, the Carl P (former CEO and founder of OnePlus) brand has become one of the most talked about in the media: his Any Phone (1) is one of the most influential mobile phones in terms of design. Last year and no ear is becoming one of the best alternatives to the popular AirPods.
Now getting on a fine line doesn’t make you immune to mistakes. And everything seems to indicate that no desire has won … Why? Well, that’s because No Chat, the app the brand promised to bring iMessage to Android, didn’t get from the Play Store. Below we will tell you why you stopped launching this new app.
No chats have been removed from Google Play due to serious issues.
No chat started a few days ago, Android iMessage is an app where you can send messages (blue bubble). This can be downloaded in beta version by users in US, Canada and UK on any phone (2).
Well, The Verge has now revealed that the brand has removed the app from the Play Store and the official launch has been delayed until further notice. After this significant bug was discovered that put user privacy at risk.
Let’s remember that NothingChat is based on Sunbird, an Android app that launched earlier this year and provides support for iMessage. Well, the Texts.blog team was responsible for reporting that users provide their Apple ID credentials to Sunbird to use both apps. This in itself already puts user privacy at risk.
But the team of experts also found that the messages are not end-to-end encrypted, which means that neither Sunbird nor anything else can see the content of messages sent by these apps. Worst of all, there is no guarantee on the website that the messages are encrypted.
All these allegations made the brand decide to remove No Chats from the Play Store…does this mean it’s giving up on its dream of having iMessage on Android? No, a day after this app launched, Apple announced that iMessage would support Android RCS messages, the first major step toward integrating messaging from these operating systems.
And you… do you think anything was overly ambitious at the start of the chat?
