WhatsApp with encryption
After Snowden I have choosen very carefully my apps to chat with my buddies. I'm using Threema and Telegram. Both have an end-to-end encryption or an option to activate it. Allthough Telegram has more than 100 million daily active users, only a subset of my friends uses the Telegram app. WhatsApp is the most used messenger in Switzerland.
WhatsApp has released a new version of its messenger this week. The new version activates an automatic end-to-end encryption for all platforms (iOS, Android, etc.).
Now I can install and use WhatsApp without to sacrifice my privacy. But there are some other popular messengers without an encryption: Facebook Messenger (Facebook is the owner of WhatsApp), Skype, Hangouts. I hope encryption will be a standard for all popular messengers in the future.
-----
By the way: Only the two chat partners can read the messages with an end-to-end encryption and nobody can demand from WhatsApp to give over old chat protocols. So it's more secure as an old-fashioned letter.
