An end-to-end encryption (E2EE) adds extra security and protection to your calls and messages in a chat so that only you and whoever you’re talking to can read, see, or hear them.

In addition, the content of your messages and calls in an end-to-end encrypted chat is protected from the moment it leaves your device to the moment it reaches the device of the receiver.
