WhatsApp<\/a> introduces end-to-end encryption for all communications<\/a> – chats, pictures, videos, etc. \u00a0I’m sure it’ll help them get more individuals and businesses on the network, as well as probably ban the app in a handful of countries.<\/p>\n

WhatsApp has always prioritized making your data and communication as secure as possible. And today, we’re proud to announce that we’ve completed a technological development that makes WhatsApp a leader in protecting your private communication: full end-to-end encryption. From now on when you and your contacts use the latest version of the app, every call you make, and every message, photo, video, file, and voice message you send, is end-to-end encrypted by default, including group chats.<\/p>\n

The idea is simple: when you send a message, the only person who can read it is the person or group chat that you send that message to. No one can see inside that message. Not cybercriminals. Not hackers. Not oppressive regimes. Not even us. End-to-end encryption helps make communication via WhatsApp private \u2013 sort of like a face-to-face conversation.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n
