End to end encryption was added after the aquisition.
- johnnyfaehell 8y agoWhile true, I am not really believing Facebook had anything to do directly with that happening. It seems like the entire industry was moving that direction and WhatsApp would've always had to implement it.
- bad_user 8y agoEncryption was already in the works via a collaboration with Open Whisper Systems, the makers of Signal (see signal.org). AFAIK end to end encryption was actually part of the acquisition deal. And now they regret it ;-)
