What did WhatsApp decide - in detail?

In a move aimed at enhancing user privacy and security, WhatsApp has decided to implement end-to-end encryption for all communications on its platform. This decision marks a significant step forward in protecting the sensitive information exchanged between users. The implementation of end-to-end encryption ensures that messages, photos, videos, voice messages, documents, and calls are secured from prying eyes, including those of WhatsApp itself. This means that only the people communicating via WhatsApp can read or listen to what is sent, adding an extra layer of security to user interactions. The decision underscores WhatsApp's commitment to safeguarding its users' data and maintaining their trust in the platform.
