[German]At the beginning of the year 2023, I am once again bringing up a topic that I already addressed here on the blog in 2015 and in January 2021. It's about the Microsoft Outlook app, which is available for Android and iOS devices and, in my opinion, is widely used. In the corporate environment, however, those responsible are sailing in risky waters, because this app transfers login data and mails to the Microsoft Cloud, so that they can be analyzed there. In the EU Parliament, the use was prohibited and I had pointed out the issue again in 2021. The issue has now come to my attention again because Baden-Württemberg's data protection commissioner has subjected the app to an analysis. It also came out that the app transfers data to the cloud.
For users of very old Apple iPhones and various Samsung Android smartphones, WhatsApp will end it's upport as of today, December 31, 2022. That means, that it's no longer possible, to install the WhatsApp app on such a device. That's because Meta, the operator of the WhatsApp service, has announced the end of support for older OS versions, which affects 49 older smartphone models.
