> We have a number of folks who are absolutely freaking out over how folks are being killed because of this

I can totally see that happening:

Person X suspects their partner is cheating on them with Person Y. So they start logging every time their partner is online and every time Person Y is online. Person X becomes obsessed with this theory of cheating and discovers a correlation between their online times, concluding that they're being cheated on, so they explode in rage and go kill their partner.

Um, my wife and I use the same code for all our devices - if your partner is developing this level of paranoia aren't there easier approaches to this question? Or maybe setup a separate whatsapp account to use for cheating if you are big into that so folks can't track you while you cheat?
