WhatsApp is rolling out end-to-end encryption, a move that will potentially protect texts and voice calls of its over one billion users from hackers and “regimes”. “WhatsApp has always prioritised 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,” founder Jan Koum said. The latest version of the app will encrypt every call, message, photo, video, file and voice message that is sent on the platform by default, including group chats. “No one can see inside that message. Not cybercriminals. Not hackers. Not oppressive regimes. Not even us,” he said. PTI
