<\/p>\n

\tWhatsApp launched a campaign to highlight its end-to-end encryption capabilities, which a representative of parent company Facebook told Mobile World Live (MWL) aimed to showcase its ability to protect user privacy following resistance to a recent policy update [1].<\/p>\n

The company told MWL it commenced its first international marketing campaign today (14 June) in the UK and Germany to present the benefits of encrypted communication.<\/p>\n

As part of the move, WhatsApp will showcase the importance of privately communicating and offer assurances messages cannot be read by it or Facebook.<\/p>\n

The move follows a backlash to the policy change from users and some governments: India was particularly vocal in its opposition [2], believing it was an attempt to share private data with Facebook.<\/p>\n

WhatsApp’s campaign also appears to address recent concerns raised by a number of officials, including UK Home Secretary Priti Patel, over its ability to combat online child abuse if the social media giant moves forward with a plan to add encryption to all of its messaging services, including Facebook Messenger and Instagram.<\/p>\n

Head of WhatsApp Will Cathcart explained the company believed \u201cpeople have a right to communicate without companies or third parties listening in and we want everyone to know the lengths WhatsApp goes to protect their private messages\u201d.<\/p>\n
