WhatsApp/Signal Surveillance through Emoji Reactions
The video shows how emoji reactions on WhatsApp and Signal, like a heart, can be exploited to monitor users without accessing message content.

This side-channel attack works even with end-to-end encryption, highlighting how metadata can leak sensitive behavioral patterns.
