Ahead of Apple’s RCS update, WhatsApp has just given iMessage and Google Messages users frustrated with their clunky, cross-platform messaging a great reason to switch...WhatsApp remains my pick as the go-to secure messenger for its billions of users. It takes credit for making cross-platform, end-to-end encryption available to everyone, and despite its Meta masters, it has maintained a sensible balance between privacy and accessibility.
WhatsApp’s laudable approach to security and privacy innovation is on display again this week, with the news that its clever locked chat feature is coming to linked devices as first trailed last month.” feature can be enabled from a primacy device, and adds an extra layer of security to those messages you’d rather keep extra secret. We all know the kind. Those chats are stored in a separate folder and need to be separately unlocked.
“We believe,” WABetaInfo says, “that implementing this feature on linked devices will further enhance both privacy and user convenience. By allowing users to separate their protected conversations from the chats list, WhatsApp ensures a high level of confidentiality, reducing the risk of accidental exposure. In addition, locked chats are consistently synchronized across all devices by setting up a secret code.
While the RCS linkage between Apple and Google will at least resolve the archaic SMS feature-set that currently holds back their cross-platform message offering, it will not offer end-to-end encryption between ecosystems. For that you will need WhatsApp or another over-the-top. This latest expansion of its locked chat feature is important because it shows WhatsApp continuing to promote privacy and security innovation as well as populist features such bubble colors and stickers.Our community is about connecting people through open and thoughtful conversations.
