Message privately
Your privacy is our priority. With end-to-end encryption, you can be sure that your personal messages stay between you and who you send them to.
Whether it's your confessions, your difficult debates, or your silly inside jokes, your conversations need to be protected
End-to-end encryption
Messages and calls stay between you. No one else can read or listen to them, not even WhatsApp.
Additional layers of privacy
Beyond end-to-end encryption, we add additional layers of protection to all of your conversations.
Control the privacy you need
You get to choose what you share, how you show up online, or who can talk to you.
Chat lock
Password protect your most personal chats, so that no one using your phone can see them.
Disappearing messages
With disappearing messages, you can control which messages stick around and for how long, by setting them up to disappear after you’ve sent them.
Silence unknown callers
Screen out spam and unknown contacts from calling you, so you can focus on conversations that really matter to you.
Encrypted
backups
Keep your online backups private. Turn on encrypted backups to extend the security of end-to-end encryption to your messages saved in iCloud or Google Drive.
Last seen
and online
Choose to be seen by only those you want. You can customize your privacy settings to choose who can see when you’re online, and when you last used WhatsApp.
Security
and safety
Protect your account from hackers and scammers
and stop unwanted chats.
