Following several reports surrounding its lack of security, Nothing Chats is gone from the Play Store
  • Nothing Chats, a rival to apps like Beeper and AirMessage, advertised itself as a secure platform for sending messages to iMessage users.
  • However, less than 24 hours after its launch, investigations into the app revealed that Nothing Chats logged every message in plain text and stored unencrypted data, including text messages, images, videos, and more, making it a significant privacy and security risk.
  • The company removed the app from the Play Store following these complaints, citing “several bugs” that need fixing.

      Isn’t Pete Lau the CEO of Nothing? He did the same thing with OnePlus. At least I don’t think they didn’t do invites for Nothing.

          Sorry, I mixed them up, Pete Lau was also one of the big hats at OnePlus. I’m not sure what his title was, then. Oh, I checked up on it; Lau and Pei co-founded OnePlus, Pei was the CEO of OnePlus, but left OnePlus to found Nothing, which he is now the CEO of, leaving Pete Lau as the CEO of OnePlus.
