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.

matter to you most with a built-in camera. With WhatsApp, photos and videos
send quickly even if you're on a slow connection.
