India Today
Mark Zuckerberg during a chat with Wabetinfo revealed that the multi-device support will be launching soon.
WhatsApp has been rumoured to be working on multi-device support for the longest time. However, we now know that the feature will not forever remain in beta, WhatsApp does plan to roll it out soon. Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg had confirmed launching the feature this year during a WhatsApp chat with Wabetainfo. Now we hear that WhatsApp will enable end-to-end encryption on multiple devices when it rolls out the multi-device support feature. End-to-end encryption provides protection to chats. In simple terms, it means that chat only remains between the sender and receiver and not even WhatsApp can read it. This is also the primary reason WhatsApp did not comply with the government of India’s new IT rules which demanded to find the originator of a message. WhatsApp in its argument said that finding the originator would mean circumventing the end-to-end encryption. It would make WhatsApp go against its own policies. WhatsApp now plans to launch multi-device support with end-to-end encryption. As per the WhatsApp features tracker, wabetainfo, end-to-end encryption will be compatible with multi-device as well.More Related News
