Announcing the development in a blog post, WhatsApp founder Jan Koum said the latest version of the app will encrypt every call, message, photo, video, file and voice message that is sent on the platform by default, including group chats.
“No one can see inside that message. Not cyber criminals. Not hackers. Not oppressive regimes. Not even us. End-to-end encryption helps make communication via WhatsApp private, sort of like a face-to-face conversation,” he said.
