Messaging giant Whatsapp takes another big leap with a proud announcement of end to end encryption of communication of all its users, worldwide.
Facebook owned Whatsapp announced that they started encrypting every message, audio calls, any file transfers on it. Only the recipient can read it, as the message gets decrypted by the recipient's device.
Through this crucial step, Whatsapp is now able to barricade intercepts, hackers and cyber criminals. Even Whatsapp can't read any of the messages from now. This encryption of Whatsapp messages gives a major support to public privacy and security, and strong confidence to share anything they like without any intrusion.
While this is on one side, security experts are totally unhappy with this move of communications privacy as anti-social groups or terrorists find it more easy to pass on the messages under the encryption.
This feature also makes sure that the calls you make re end-to-end encrypted by simply looking at the contact info or group info. You get to send also check-in for end-to-end encryption for messages you send. If you’ve not updated your whatsapp, do so to gain access to this feature. For updated users, go to settings >> security and enable yours.
So what’s your say? You can now speak freely on whatsapp, send any type of message to anyone, make calls to anyone both home and abroad with active encryption and stay in touch with anyone. Whatsapp is known for privacy and security, so you’re advised to update your whatsapp to enjoy this feature. Feel free to let me know via comment section if you got any say.
