You can chat, call, share data like images, voice and videos. During the time it has gained so much of popularity and keeps on working to improve its features. WhatsApp was initially founded by\u00a0Jan Koum &amp; Brian Acton\u00a0and in 2009 and then in 2014 they announced WhatsApp is being acquired by Facebook.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>WhatsApp has always been in news as number of users are increasing day by day and so may its usage. It has been always criticized by security rules followed by it.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Recently, WhatsApp has added new\u00a0<strong>end to end security<\/strong>\u00a0to it, if you are WhatsApp user then it\u2019s possible you have seen a message showing in the image below with all the contacts, but it is must to upgrade your app for that.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Whatever\u00a0<strong>message\/voice\/call you will send to your contact friend will be\u00a0protected<\/strong>\u00a0with end to end encryption.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What End to End Encryption is?<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>It is basically<strong>\u00a0conversion of the data for the security purpose<\/strong>\u00a0so that third party in between can\u2019t interrupt or corrupt or hack the send data. \u00a0So,\u00a0<strong>to protect or secure the digital data encryption is the solution<\/strong>. Encrypted data is not understood by any of the person even cyber-criminals, hackers,\u00a0telecoms and Internet Service providers or governments except that of authorized party.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why WhatsApp can be banned in India?<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>As 40-bit encryption system used by WhatsApp earlier is a much lower standard. But now after new changes it is considered that WhatsApp doesn\u2019t even hold the decryption key for removal of the security with the relevant authority, government afraid that how will they be able to read the messages or call from WhatsApp.\u00a0<strong>As per the government rules it illegal and it can increase the cases of forgery or criminal activities<\/strong>. It can be useful for users but according to gov. it\u2019s just not lie in their rules as\u00a0<strong>WhatsApp is using QR Code or a\u00a060-digit number and encryption\u00a0is 256-bit\u00a0strong<\/strong>\u00a0as reported by a famous news site.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Some of the updates followed by WhatsApp which made a big news and hustle in market<\/strong>:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li>When WhatsApp was sold to Facebook in US$19 billion.<\/li>\r\n<li>Through a web client WhatsApp was officially made available for Personal Computers.<\/li>\r\n<li>Off Last Seen to everybody.<\/li>\r\n<li>Using settings, you can tight your privacy of status and display pic\u00a0<strong>(shown to only saved contacts of your phone<\/strong>).<\/li>\r\n<li>Star your messages to remember, archive to hide, email your chat etc.<\/li>\r\n<li>Delivered status, Read Status and then the exact time of delivered and read status of messages send (<strong>hold the send message &gt;&gt; click icon\u00a0<\/strong><strong>\u00a0and all the information will be shown<\/strong>.)<\/li>\r\n<li>Encryption method used.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Lets see what will be the decision is and what a big news will WhatsApp come up with.<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lets have a look why WhatsApp can be banned in India?
