You have most likely heard something in the news recently regarding WhatsApp that WhatsApp has expanded their security to complete end-to-end encryption. This means that your messages, photos, videos, voice messages, documents, and calls are secured from everyone other than who you intend to share them with.

This expanded security is available in the latest version of the app and comes into practice when you and the people you message use this latest version of the app. Both parties must have the updated version to guarantee complete security protection.

The end-to-end encryption ensures only you and the person you are communicating with can read what is sent, and nobody between, not even WhatsApp! Every message that you send is secured with its own unique lock and key that only you and the recipient have access to read.

If you have the latest version of the WhatsApp app, that is all you need to activate this security change. The encryption is activated automatically once the app is updated.
