Are you sure they actually monitor the chat sessions? They are encrypted and you need some special software for this - not impossible but its not cheap and not every company can afford this. If they have opened skype and allow you access - I jolly well hope they are monitoring it.

Lots of data leakage can occur through this and its a security nightmare. I went and tracked down the policy. Here's their golden clause. Such monitoring power justifies an infraction of the privacy of the user. So basically, they can watch what you're doing via a hidden VNC, or whatever they please.

I understand if you think someone is maybe doing something illegal at work or something like that. But just to watch what they're saying. Actually kind of happy I didn't get that job there. As I hear there are also rumours going around that I started a P2P sharing network There are very few companies these days that are not covered by IT policies that govern the use of their machines. In most cases its in your contract that you sign that you will read and abide by said policies.

The software that is out there is very advanced and can pretty much show them realtime whats going on your computer. So simple rule is dont do something you may regret on a work machine. That is common in nearly all corporate entities in SA.

Their company assets should be used for company purposes only, as per the IT policy.

Hiding your "Last Seen" time is a useful feature if you don't want people to know when you last checked in to WhatsApp. From here, you can select who gets to view your "Last Seen" time. The feature does come with a trade-off: You won't be able to see anyone else's "Last Seen" time either. Setting up WhatsApp and then changing phones can be a pain.

This "number" will then follow you onto your next phone, creating confusion for everyone. Pictures do still download, however, so you won't be missing out. Checking when someone read your message is useful for all kinds of reasons, especially in a group-chat setting. To check, select the message and drag it left, revealing the time it was delivered and the time it was read. In a group chat, a list of whom the message has been delivered to and who has read it shows instead.
