Your privacy is our priority
Our mission is to connect the world privately by designing a product that's simple and private. So whether you're sending a message to your loved ones, or video calling a friend, your communications remain secure and you're always in control. Here, your conversations stay just between you.
Your privacy is automatic
End-to-end encryption
Every message and call is secured with end-to-end encryption. That means no one except you and the people who you're chatting with can read or listen to its contents, not even WhatsApp.
Messages are stored on your device
Your messages belong to you. That's why your messages are stored on your phone, and we don't share them with advertisers.
You control your privacy
WhatsApp makes it simple to understand and customize your privacy and security.
We're committed to keeping you safe
WhatsApp offers a series of tools, features, and resources to help you make informed decisions and keep your communication safe and secure.
