Whatapp is annoucing that all messages, photos, video, and phone calls made over its messaging app will be encrypted end-to-end...
What this means is that your conversion will be secure, no one can access the conversation except the people in the conversation, all communication will be encrypted.
Even though government want the conversation for investigations or for other reasons; whatApp will not be able to help them, not because they don't want to but because they themselves don't have access to the conversation.
Though whatapp has been rolling out end to end encryption for the past few years but this really beat em all, The announcement today applies to all platform be it android, window, iOS and more allowing it users to communicate without fear.
WhatApp is the biggest messaging app having more than one billion users worldwide, with this update all messages going on on this app will be truly secure, despite the fact that many folks never expect the company to add such feature.
In the interview, whatApp founder Brian Action said its all about freedom for the people to express themselves. Below are his exact words:
“Building secure products actually makes for a safer world, (though) many people in law enforcement may not agree with that,” says Acton, who was employee number forty-four at Internet giant Yahoo before co-founding WhatsApp in 2009 alongside Koum, one of his old Yahoo colleagues.
With encryption, Acton explains, anyone can conduct business or talk to a doctor without worrying about eavesdroppers. With encryption, he says, you can even be a whistleblower—and not worry.
