WhatsApp putting caption on chats that are end-to-end encrypted
WhatsApp started to roll out a new v2.24.3.17 update to Android users on the Beta channel. The release indicates that WhatsApp is working on introducing a caption that marks chats as end-to-end encrypted in a future app update.
WABetaInfo managed to access the WhatsApp feature in the latest Beta build. The screenshot displays a new caption to assist users involved in an end-to-end encrypted conversation. It is to reassure users that their private messages remain inaccessible to unauthorized parties.

In particular, the new change consists of a padlock icon with the label “End-to-End Encrypted” prominently displayed within the top app bar. While existing chats are already end-to-end encrypted, the UI will join with future update for additional transparency.
