WhatsApp Now 100 Percent Secure Conversation Secrets

Instant messaging service WhatsApp stronger for encryption affairs. Companies owned by Facebook was announced that all types of messages sent via its network now has anti-tapping.

That means, only the sender and receiver are able to read the contents of the message. Super-secret talks even now safe to do in WhatsApp.

Parties outside the sender and the recipient, even WhatsApp own employees, guaranteed not to be able to see the contents of the message that is sent over the network WhatsApp.

Encryption is also applicable on all platforms, including Android, iOS, BlackBerry 10, Windows Phone and Nokia S40 operating system legacy.

Information on 100 percent encrypted messages on WhatsApp was announced by the two founders of WhatsApp, Jan Koum and Brian Acton, in the company's official blog on Tuesday (05/04/2016).

"From now on, when you and your contacts using the latest version of the application, each call is made, and any messages, photos, videos, files, and voice messages are sent, encrypted as a whole, including group chat," they wrote.

In 2014, WhatsApp actually own encryption system. However, the encryption is merely at the level of text messaging. Sending a message in the group and media content, such as photos or videos, still not encrypted.

The process of making this encryption system itself is quite difficult. The difficulty for the encryption process is applied across platforms and spread to 1 billion users.

To Wired, Koum disclose inter-platform video encryption is the hardest of all.

Hence the difficulty, WhatsApp had to postpone the announcement of such encryption to this day. In fact, all the process is almost completed in mid December 2015.

"You have to create a situation in which someone in the Android user can send video to S40, or a BlackBerry users can send to users of Windows Phone," said Koum.
