We reported last month that WhatsApp could add end-to-end encryption to voice calls and group chats, but we didn’t know when exactly that would happen.
Today, the company “guilty” of integrating this type of encryption into WhatsApp has confirmed that the feature has been fully included in the application on both Android and iOS platforms.
“At Open Whisper Systems, our goal is to make private communication simple. A year ago, we announced a partnership with WhatsApp and committed to integrating the Signal Protocol into their product, moving towards a full end to end encryption for all of their users by default,” says the cryptographer who goes by the pseudonym Moxie Marlinspike.
At the base of this end-to-end encryption is something called Signal Protocol, which has been rolled out across all WhatsApp clients, including chats, group chats, attachments, voice notes, and voice calls over the past year.
