New Delhi: World’s most popular messaging service application, WhatsApp, is likely to drop USD one fee, which is levied on some users as it experiments with making businesses pay to reach their customers, said Chief Executive Jan Koum in a statement, reports ANI.
In addition, the Facebook-owned communications service expects in the coming months to offer complete encryption of messages, in a move to ensure the privacy of user conversations that is likely to draw further criticism from some governments.
According to the authorities in the US, Britain and elsewhere, the growing prevalence of encryption on services such as WhatsApp and Apple’s iMessage have an ability to monitor criminal suspects or militant plots. WhatsApp has been slowly working to develop end-to-end encrypted communications services for more than a year.
