IDXChannel – Until now, if you want to use the web WhatsApp of desktop or other device, it is necessary to cell phone stay turned on and connected.
But in the latest beta test, the company tried support for multiple devices to be able to use WhatsApp without staying connected to the phone.
In an interview in June, WhatsApp head Will Cathcart and his boss, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, exposed the technical challenges of maintaining end-to-end encryption.
With a recent blog post, Cathcart shed more light on what the company has been doing to stay safe.
Reporting from The Verge, Thursday (15/7/2021), WhatsApp tries to explain it with an image that compares the old and new systems.
Previously, users’ phones managed the keys that determined their identity and their ability to encrypt/decrypt messages. Encrypted synchronization also applies to message history, contact names, and other data, with keys retained on individual devices.
To get started, this beta trial version will be given to a limited group of testers who are already in the WhatsApp beta program. Meanwhile the team says it is working on improving performance and adding more features.(TIA)
