WhatsGup Security

Privacy and Security is in our DNA

From day one, we built WhatsGup to help you stay in touch with friends, share vital information during natural disasters, reconnect with separated families, or seek a better life. Some of your most personal moments are shared with WhatsGup, which is why we built end-to-end encryption into the latest versions of our app. When end-to-end encrypted, your messages, photos, videos, voice messages, documents, and calls are secured from falling into the wrong hands.

Security by Default

WhatsGup's end-to-end encryption is available when you and the people you message use the latest versions of our app. Many messaging apps only encrypt messages between you and them, but WhatsGup's end-to-end encryption ensures only you and the person you're communicating with can read what is sent, and nobody in between, not even WhatsGup. This is because your messages are secured with a lock, and only the recipient and you have the special key needed to unlock and read them. For added protection, every message you send has its own unique lock and key. All of this happens automatically: no need to turn on settings or set up special secret chats to secure your messages.

Speak Freely

WhatsGup Calling lets you talk to your friends and family, even if they're in another country. Just like your messages, WhatsGup calls are end-to-end encrypted so WhatsGup and third parties can't listen to them.

Messages that Stay with You

Your messages should be in your hands. That's why WhatsGup doesn't store your messages on our servers once we deliver them, and end-to-end encryption means that WhatsGup and third parties can't read them anyway.

See for Yourself

WhatsGup lets you check whether the calls you make and messages you send are end-to-end encrypted. Simply look for the indicator in contact info or group info.
