There was a lot of discussion about encryption and digital privacy and information security in the past few months because of the judicial battle is between Apple and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the reason is that Apple has rejected demands by the FBI to establish rear in their products door and who hopes to exploit this back door to access the data stored on users' computers in case if necessary. To prevent such things many major technology companies decided to improve services and software affiliate to avoid exposing personal information and users' privacy at risk.
WhatsApp is currently owned by Facebook Inc. is now one of the most commonly used instant messaging platforms on a large scale. There are more than a billion people are using this application to send messages and make voice calls and send pictures and files, and so of other things for free. As a result, WhatsApp announced today that it has confirmed that it has completed the launch of Almtlasq encryption feature (End-to-End) for all WhatsApp users all over the world, and this means that all calls and messages and audio files sent through WhatsApp will be encrypted. It should be noted that the encryption feature of these devices run on Android, iOS, Windows Phone and even old phones from Nokia, which includes the application WhatsApp.
This encryption feature does not allow a company WhatsApp itself access to what is happening in circulation in its network messages, and this means that there is no way to comply with the court order to hand over user data. Simply put, no one can any longer to access messages and data that are traded by users on the platform WhatsApp.
