WhatsApp multi-device support to release with end-to-end encryption

WhatsApp would offer end-to-end encryption for its multi-device capability. Facebook-owned instant messaging app has long emphasised its privacy-conscious encryption. Only sender and receiver have access to text and voice messs, photos, videos, documents, and phone calls, according to company. Allowing same level of security on many devices while also synchronising communication between m, on or hand, is difficult and fraught with techlogical challenges.

Signal encryption techlogy is used in WhatsApp's app to offer end-to-end encrypted communication. Competitors such as Google Messs have implemented same security technique to meet privacy concerns raised by digital activists. Despite fact that end-to-end encryption prevents platform tracing, governments and ncies in a number of countries, including India, have requested backdoor access.
