The new BlackBerry Z10 smartphone shows what a user is watching including embarrassing videos like porn.
A report that circulated the web earlier this week noted the Z10’s deeper integration with BlackBerry Messenger allows those in your contacts to see which songs and videos you’re playing.
A BlackBerry spokesperson said that “show what I’m listening to” feature has to be turned on.
“The ‘update your status’ feature is off by default, so users would need to choose to turn this on,” a spokesperson told Mashable. “Also, users are not sharing content to other users, they are only sharing the title of what is being played.”
Because the media player streams audio, video and flash from the browser, whatever is played via the platform can be shared with BBM contacts. However, you have to choose to enable this functionality.
