⚠️ Pavel Durov Claims 95% of WhatsApp Messages Are Not Encrypted

Pavel Durov has called out WhatsApp’s “end-to-end encryption by default” as a “giant consumer fraud.”

According to Durov, ~95% of private WhatsApp messages end up stored in plain text on Apple iCloud or Google Drive servers completely unencrypted.

WhatsApp’s cloud backups are not end-to-end encrypted by default, meaning they can be easily accessed by authorities or by Apple and Google if requested.
