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.

Amazing. It just got worse the more you read the article. I'm in awe.

It's as if they released an dev application made to work in localhost. The only thing missing is the application itself to be a dev build.
