This page aggregates measured, corroborated evidence: donors' iPhones recorded apps contacting this domain, every claim below was reported by separate accepted donations and published under a human verdict (later rows for an approved app inherit its verdict). A contact is a measurement, not an accusation — it does not show what data was sent.

What our research panel found AI-drafted · human-reviewed
We ask several independent AI models the same question and publish their answers separately — cross-vendor agreement is evidence against fabrication, and disagreement is worth seeing. 3 of 3 models answered, overall confidence high. A human reviewed this domain's claims before anything here published.
Anthropic Claude — first-party
g.whatsapp.net is on whatsapp.net, WhatsApp's own registrable domain, so this is first-party app infrastructure (it is commonly associated with WhatsApp's core messaging/registration endpoints, though I cannot verify the specific service from the data given). The app's label already declares collecting identifiers, contacts, and message-related content, so this contact implies no data flow beyond the declared label.
OpenAI — first-party
The domain is under whatsapp.net and most likely serves WhatsApp itself. The provided privacy label already declares broad collection categories including identifiers, contacts, app interactions, diagnostics, and user content, so this contact alone does not imply an undeclared data flow.
Google Gemini — first-party
The domain g.whatsapp.net is a first-party infrastructure domain operated by WhatsApp for core application traffic and messaging services. As first-party network activity, this contact does not indicate undisclosed data collection or third-party sharing.
