I’ve been using the WePlay gaming app recently, and I saw a couple of incidents that honestly made me really uncomfortable.
It felt like someone had access to extremely personal data without the person doing anything at all. No links clicked, no downloads, nothing.
They somehow knew details from someone’s Aadhaar card (like address), and in another case it seemed like they could access or see things from the person’s phone gallery. Just from being on the app.
What made it even stranger is that they claimed they could get this info using just an Instagram ID or a phone number linked to the account.
I genuinely don’t understand how that’s even possible without direct access to someone’s phone. It sounds insane, but it didn’t feel like a joke.
Is this some kind of advanced hacking, social engineering, or are people just bluffing to scare others?
Has anyone else experienced anything like this on WePlay or similar apps?
