WhatsApp Adds End-to-End Encryption for Voice and Video Calls
WhatsApp has added stronger privacy protection for voice and video calls, including calls made through a web browser. This means people can now make and receive WhatsApp calls on the web with the same built-in privacy protection already used in the app.
Who is at risk
Anyone who uses WhatsApp for voice or video calls, especially people who switch between phone, desktop, and web access, should be aware of this change.
What to watch for
Watch for new call options in WhatsApp Web and be cautious of fake emails, pop-ups, or messages claiming you need to download something or re-verify your account to use the feature.
What to do
Update WhatsApp only through its official app store or website, turn on extra account protection if available, and avoid clicking links that claim to activate calling features.
