What is an End-To-End encryption feature?
WhatsApp Messenger uses end-to-end encryption currently, so we can understand it well by using WhatsApp as an example. WhatsApp reports in its FAQ that ‘End-to-end encryption’ ensures the security of messages and calls between yourself and your contacts. No one else can read, hear, or see them, not even WhatsApp.
A key element of end-to-end encryption is the use of a digital lock that ensures messages are protected before they are sent, requiring a digital key that can only be accessed and heard by the recipient. Nobody can see, read, or listen to these messages in between. All of this happens automatically.
To secure your messages, you do not need to enable End-to-end encryption on settings.
