They have added this power to read user data when you report it. All of which I have included in the title.
>for the obvious reason that reporting a user would be meaningless without that.
This is a change from past behavior. WhatsApp didn't forward a copy of messages when you reported people previously. Now they do. Which is what I clearly mentioned in the title. This meaningless way of reporting people was what users were used to.
None of the comments commenting about click-bait are mentioning what is factually wrong with the title. They are just saying they understood it different, which is okay.
It's not ok on HN where clickbait titles and editorialized titles are not ok, 'factually correct' or not. You can't just say we should agree to disagree on whether to have clickbait or editorialized titles.
