**A new application IOS|whatsapp users are afraid**

While Facebook is currently in turmoil following the scandal of Cambridge Analytica, WhatsApp messaging (owned by the social network) could in turn provoke some cold sweats to its regular users.

Chatwatch, a new application landed a few days ago in the App Store, promises to provide a detailed report on the habits of its contacts in the IM, including the time they are used to to sleep, an estimate of the length of their nights or the probabilities that they have conversed with one of his contacts.
Reports, which are generated by closely monitoring the frequency with which their "targets" connect to WhatsApp, also include the daily time spent on the app, the number of times it was opened in the day, and the number of times it was opened. corresponding hours. Information that some bosses would probably be happy to have access, what does not fail to remember the developer in the description of his app.

According to the publisher, disabling the option showing the time of its last connection would put little stick in the wheels of Chatwatch, WhatsApp allowing its users to see the connection status of their contacts by simply opening a window of conversation without even having to send a message.

The Chatwatch app is available for free download in the App Store, and requires paying a subscription to € 1.99 per week to monitor 2 contacts. It remains to be seen if WhatsApp will quickly take the necessaryn steps to block this type of service.
