Whats-app will planning to encrypt voice calls and groups messages.  The report also highlighted Whats-app's troubles in Brazil, where authorities arrested a Facebook executive on March 1.Whats-app had told investigators that it lacked the technical ability to provide messages sent by drug traffickers. Whats-app already offers Android and iPhone users encrypted messaging. 


As per the report, Facebook, Google, and Snap-chat may also be working to improve the encryption provided by their services. Facebook is planning to improve the security of Messenger and offer encryption on voice calls. while Google is looking into encrypted email technology. All this focus on encryption and security comes after Apple’s battle with the FBI in which Apple refused to grant the agency access to the iPhone belonging to the accused in the San Bernardo shooting.
