WhatsApp chats are end-to-end encrypted, something that the Facebook-owned company has always maintained.

WhatsApp announced on Monday that it’s expanding its joinable calls feature to group chats. Joinable calls, which were first introduced in July, allow users to join an ongoing group call after it has begun.

WhatsApp has finally begun rolling out end-to-end encrypted chat backups for iOS and Android users globally, announced Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg on Thursday.

Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and Facebook Messenger are reportedly experiencing a service outage worldwide.

WhatsApp is the most popular messaging app in the world. But even with its wide reach, the app can’t support all our devices forever. The company regularly updates its help center to let users know which devices it still supports.

We don't know exactly when these features will arrive, but they're likely to land this year – given how WhatsApp's testing process usually works.

According to the portal WABetaInfo, in addition to the ability to encrypt copies of chats, iPhone owners will soon be provided with the ability to convert voice messages into text.

WhatsApp has introduced end-to-end encryption even for chat back-ups. Earlier, the lack of encryption for backups could provide a loophole to malicious actors.

WhatsApp has been spotted testing a new feature that allows users to react to messages. This feature is available on other platforms such as Instagram and Messenger.

WhatsApp is rolling out its “View Once” feature today, which deletes photos or videos from your chat after they’ve been opened by the recipient.
