End-to-End Encryption (E2EE):
With the help of End-to-End Encryption, we save your MS calls and messages on media so that no one can read them except you, the person you are talking to. When you take someone on this app, end-to-end encryption can secure your messages, which means that only you and your addressee can read or listen to the message and no one else can enter in between, not even itself, can access them.
This function is used to store your messages in a special lock and only you and the person you are sending the message to have the special keys to be able to see and find them. This all happens automatically and you don’t need to do any special settings.
Two-Step Verification:
- Two-step verification can help to protect your WhatsApp account from unauthorized users. When you register your phone number on a new device it requires a 6-digit PIN on it.
- When someone can write your phone number to open your WhatsApp they require a 6-digit PIN.
- If someone is required to log into your WhatsApp it also requires a 6-digit PIN.

- View Once Media is a feature in WhatsApp under privacy that lets you send photographs and videos to be viewed just once before vanishing automatically within WhatsApp.
- When you send a photo or video to someone using the view once, they can only open it once.
- When they can see the media it will automatically disappear, it will not be opened again.
Chat Lock:
- There is a private feature that allows you to set a different password, fingerprint, and face lock, on your chat. Your personal conversations are safe and no one else, such as no one can see your chat without your identification and password.
