โ๏ธโ ๏ธโ๏ธ If you're using WhatsApp, update it right now!
A vulnerability discovered in #WhatsApp is being exploited to inject commercial spyware onto #Android and #iOS phones by simply calling the target - even if you don't pick up.
Once installed, the spyware can turn on a phoneโs camera and mic, scan emails and messages, and collect the userโs location data. WhatsApp is urging its 1.5 billion global users to update the app immediately to close the security hole.
The vulnerability exists in the following versions of WhatsApp:
- WhatsApp for Android prior to v2.19.134
- WhatsApp Business for Android prior to v2.19.44
- WhatsApp for iOS prior to v2.19.51
- WhatsApp Business for iOS prior to v2.19.51
- WhatsApp for Windows Phone prior to v2.18.348
- WhatsApp for Tizen prior to v2.18.15

๐ The State of Social Media Marketing
Sprout Social 2019 Index Report
Social marketers have a good idea which #SocialMedia platforms to use in order to connect with their target audience. Aligned with consumer behaviours, 89% of marketers say they use #Facebook as part of their brandโs social strategy.
While Facebook reigns supreme, itโs worth taking a closer look at which social platforms are most popular among certain age groups. Facebook, for example, is the primary platform where members of Generation X Like or follow brands (77%), but for members of Generation Z, #Instagram takes the cake (69%).

๐ฒ Top Non-Game Apps Worldwide for May 2019 by Downloads
The most downloaded non-game app worldwide for May 2019 was #WhatsApp with more than 64.7 million installs.
#FacebookMessenger was the second most installed non-game app worldwide last month with more than 60.7 million downloads. #Facebook, #TikTok, and #Snapchat made up the rest of the top five most installed non-game apps last month.
Snapchatโs dramatic ranking increase in May came as the result of a popular new gender swap filter added mid-month. The appโs first-time installs increased 2.5x month-over-month from 16.8 million in April to 41.5 million last month, bringing it into the top 10 for overall downloads at No. 5 and making it the most downloaded app on the App Store. It had ranked No. 11 overall and No. 13 on the App Store in April.

๐ Facebook Inc. Dominates the Social Media Landscape
When people think of #Facebook as a company, they mostly think of it synonymously with Facebook the social network. However, Facebook Inc. is much more than that, as todayโs chart nicely illustrates. With #WhatsApp, #Instagram and of course the namesake Facebook and #FacebookMessenger, the company owns four of the worldโs largest social media / messaging services.
Facebook alone is used by more than 2 billion people per month and both WhatsApp and Messenger also have surpassed the billion user mark, according to company data aggregated by DataReportal. #Tencent, the Chinese company behind #WeChat, Qzone and messenger QQ also boasts more than two billion users in total, but it still doesnโt come close to matching Facebookโs global footprint.
