Biggest ever change to WhatsApp revealed—why you should be concerned...
That doesn’t really matter, because WhatsApp has brought full end-to-end encryption to the masses—freely available, cross-platform, secure and reliable. More than 2 billion users exchanging trillions of messages and placing billions of calls—all fully secured. Just because WhatsApp is owned by Facebook, don’t overlook the sheer scale of this innovation or withhold the credit it deserves for democratising high-end security.
As ESET’s Jake Moore warns, “allowing WhatsApp to work with other services undermines the privacy and security protections it has worked so hard on creating. The encryption between apps will potentially be impossible to keep up with and once again, users will suffer.” The fallback is the dreaded green bubble approach, differentiating between end-to-end secure content and unsecured content. This is how iMessage warns between its own platform and SMS, Google Messages and Signal do something similar.
There are reasons why forcing such a shift on Apple would be good—I’ve argued as much before. iMessage is the stock iPhone messenger—iPhone users cannot select an alternative, and it’s tightly integrated into Apple’s cross-platform OS. Apple’s latest updates—to expand content sharing over iMessage and to introduce on-device content screening for illicit content do not have security in mind.
