WhatsApp Private Groups Were Accessible Again to Anyone Searching on Google

WhatsApp groups are showing up on Google search yet again. As a result, anyone could discover and join a private WhatsApp group by simply searching on Google. This was first discovered in 2019, and was apparently fixed last year after becoming public. Another old issue, which also appeared to have been fixed but seems to be cropping up again, is user profiles showing up through search results. People's phone numbers and profile pictures could be surfaced through a simple a Google search, because of the issue.
