Yandex.Navigator mobile app is spying on users

After different errors made by Yandex employees, the mobile app Yandex.Navigator for Android started recording all sounds to a file. The error appeared while creating a new version of the application with Yandex.Navigator voice activation by Yandex commands.

Earlier to give the application voice command (to construct a route or find an address), each user had to click the special button. Before the release the company's employees have taken a debug version of the application by mistake for the final testing. The beta testing version recorded all the sounds to the memory card in order to understand how the voice recognition system worked.

Yandex adds Facebook posts

Yandex and Facebook had a notable run-in last year when a team of developers from the Russian search giant created a social search app called Wonder, which Facebook promptly blocked, leading to it shutting down.

But in reality the two sides have been working together since 2010, and today comes the latest chapter in the collaboration. Yandex is launching a social search feature that will serve Yandex visitors related, real-time public posts from Facebook alongside other search results. Yandex, which accounts for around 60% of all searches in Russia, will also use Facebook firehose data to help provide more relevant results.
