WhatsApp's relatively new Communities feature introduces another layer of data. Communities organize related groups under one umbrella. Data here includes the community name, description, announcements from admins, and the list of linked groups. This data helps manage larger organizational structures within WhatsApp, facilitating communication for broader networks like schools or neighborhoods. It allows for structured, multi-group communication while still maintaining the privacy and encryption of individual group chats.
Voice and Video Messages: Encrypted Content
When you send voice messages or engage whatsapp data in video calls on WhatsApp, the audio and video content remains end-to-end encrypted. WhatsApp processes this data for real-time transmission but does not store or access the content itself. This ensures your spoken words and visual interactions remain private. The platform handles the technical aspects of streaming and delivery, but the actual content remains secure between participants.
