#Whatsapp's end-to-end encryption: "We made your chat encrypted today but your contact on the other end will get it next week, next month or year when she updates her app".

Meanwhile we'll continue to call your chat e2e encrypted without telling you that the other end is still not encrypted.

In other words, it is all a big pretense. Whatsapp (owned by Facebook) gives no real encryption.

    @Joe precisely. I noted this when my app was updated today. I got the message on my chat today while wife had got the message months ago when her whatsapp got updated... for the same chat.

    @Dirk until today, I was of the same opinion.

    It's e2e and Facebook has the master key.

    Even if the other users app isn't up to date?

    On every chat they give a message along with lock sign:

    "Messages you send to this chat and calls are now secured with end-to-end encryption. Tap for more info."

    The same message appears on group chats too.

    Does it not indicate if it's encrypted or not?? I don't really use WhatsApp
