END-TO-END
ENCRYPTION
Security
by Default
Some of
your most personal moments are shared on WhatsApp, which is why we built
end-to-end encryption into the latest versions of our app. When end-to-end
encrypted, your messages and calls are secured so only you and the person
you're communicating with can read or listen to them, and nobody in between,
not even WhatsApp.
