WhatsApp to Introduce Indicators for end-to-end Encryption

According to the latest report revealed by WABetaInfo, WhatsApp is planning to introduce indicators for end-to-end encryption. Currently, the chats between WhatsApp users, even in groups, are protected in the sense that they remain between them. Neither WhatsApp nor its parent company, Meta, can access these chats.

Now, WhatsApp will add new indicators in the Status and Calls section, claiming that your status updates, personal and group calls are always end-to-end encrypted, and this will never change. WhatsApp really wants to remind users that it is a secure place to talk with friends and family.

Wabetainfo added that this new visual addition is not visible right now because it’s under development. However, it will be available in a future update.

The previous reports are also claiming that WhatsApp is working ‘Delete for Everyone’ for group admins. In this way, group admins will get more control over spreading fake messages and spam.
