WhatsApp introduces full encryption for its services
WhatsApp has announced the introduction of full ‘end-to-end’ encryption for its service. If only one-to-one text messages were previously encrypted, from now on photos, videos, files, voice messages, and group text messages sent among users will be encrypted as well, to ensure that only the sender and the recipient can read them.
