WhatsApp Reaches 2 Billion Users and Champions End-to-End Encryption 🔒

WhatsApp defends encryption as it tops 2 billion users. The Facebook-owned messaging service WhatsApp said Wednesday it now has more than two billion users around the world as it reaffirmed its commitment to strong encryption to protect privacy.

WhatsApp, acquired by Facebook in 2014, has grown into one of the most widely used services in the Facebook "family" of apps, offering free messaging along with voice and video calls.

The statement said WhatsApp remained committed to its "strong encryption" that enables users to connect privately even amid calls by law enforcement in the United States and elsewhere to provide more access.

WhatsApp employs "end to end encryption" which can in many cases prevent law enforcement from accessing user data even with a court order. -

WhatsApp is one member of the Facebook app "family" that includes its core social network, Instagram and Messenger.
