Your privacy is our priority. With end-to-end encryption, you can be sure that your personal messages stay between you and who you send them to.
Messages and calls stay between you. No one else can read or listen to them, not even WhatsApp.
Beyond end-to-end encryption, we add additional layers of protection to all of your conversations.
You get to choose what you share, how you show up online, or who can talk to you.
Password protect your most personal chats, so that no one using your phone can see them.
With disappearing messages, you can control which messages stick around and for how long, by setting them up to disappear after you’ve sent them.
Screen out spam and unknown contacts from calling you, so you can focus on conversations that really matter to you.
Keep your online backups private. Turn on encrypted backups to extend the security of end-to-end encryption to your messages saved in iCloud or Google Drive.
Choose to be seen by only those you want. You can customize your privacy settings to choose who can see when you’re online, and when you last used WhatsApp.
Protect your account from hackers and scammers
and stop unwanted chats.
