Privacy controversies aside, WhatsApp is one of the most popular and useful apps in the world. The app supports the same rich instant messaging experience you’d get in iMessage, Facebook Messenger, and Telegram, and it handles voice and video calls. Unlike Facebook Messenger, it comes with the same strong end-to-end encryption as iMessage and Signal. And unlike iMessage, it works on iPhone and Android. It is no wonder that Facebook paid nearly $20 billion many years ago on an app that bridges chat communications between platforms securely.
These features will make leaving WhatsApp for good all the more difficult for existing users in May when they’ll have to decide whether to agree to the new privacy policy or swap WhatsApp for something else. But Facebook isn’t readying only policy changes that will allow it to collect user data from WhatsApp and make some money off an app that’s available to users free of charge. It’s also working on brand new WhatsApp functionalities, including a feature many WhatsApp users have been asking for.
