Whats-app Security
Today morning there have been a sudden change in whats app chats Seeing a line at the end of chat
Privacy and Security is in our DNA
Whats app has now introduced aa new lock system which is called End to End encryption
We can have a safe conversation with our nearest friends and special persons
From day one, we built WhatsApp to help you stay in touch with friends, share vital information during natural disasters, reconnect with separated families, or seek a better life.
Some of your most personal moments are shared with WhatsApp, which is
why we built end-to-end encryption into the latest versions of our app.
When end-to-end encrypted, your messages, photos, videos, voice
messages, documents, and calls are secured from falling into the wrong
hands.
Security by Default
WhatsApp's end-to-end encryption is available when you and the people
you message use the latest versions of our app. Many messaging apps
only encrypt messages between you and them, but WhatsApp's end-to-end
encryption ensures only you and the person you're communicating with can
read what is sent, and nobody in between, not even WhatsApp. This is
because your messages are secured with a lock, and only the recipient
and you have the special key needed to unlock and read them. For added
protection, every message you send has its own unique lock and key. All
of this happens automatically: no need to turn on settings or set up
special secret chats to secure your messages.
Speak Freely
WhatsApp Calling lets you talk to your friends and family, even if
they're in another country. Just like your messages, WhatsApp calls are
end-to-end encrypted so WhatsApp and third parties can't listen to them.
Messages that Stay with You
Your messages should be in your hands. That's why WhatsApp doesn't
store your messages on our servers once we deliver them, and end-to-end
encryption means that WhatsApp and third parties can't read them anyway.
See for Yourself
WhatsApp lets you check whether the calls you make and messages you
send are end-to-end encrypted. Simply look for the indicator in contact
info or group info.
