Is Whatsapp Encrypted?

[Richard]

I’m sharing personal messages on WhatsApp and started worrying about privacy. Is WhatsApp encrypted, and can anyone else read my chats?

Yes, WhatsApp provides end-to-end encryption in its chats, so only the other person can read those chats.

Yes. WhatsApp uses a default end-to-end encryption. This implies that, it is not WhatsApp, or Meta, or third-party that will read or listen to messages, you, and the person you are communicating with are the only ones who can. Encryption is implemented on messages, calls, photos, videos, and voice notes.
