WhatsApp for Android now shows end to end encryption notification
The latest build of WhatsApp for Android v2.12.500 comes with a number of features including showing users whether their messages are end-to-end encrypted. The instant messaging client was seemingly testing an option in January which allowed users to add an indicator to let them be aware whether their chats are encrypted.
The latest build of WhatsApp for Android v2.12.500 comes with a number of features including showing users whether their messages are end-to-end encrypted. The instant messaging client was seemingly testing an option in January which allowed users to add an indicator to let them be aware whether their chats are encrypted.
While indicator isn't precisely the same, the latest build of the messaging client, available to download via the company's site and the Google Play beta testing program, does bestow users with the following message, "messages you send to this chat are now end-to-end encrypted."
Additionally, users are also shown a similar message when sending a text message to a group. The feature as per Android Police reportedly is also working for users on versions between 2.12.493 and 2.12.500. For it to work, people on the recipient side are also likely to be on the latest build. WhatsApp's iOS client doesn't have this feature just yet.
