WhatsApp: Disable encryption
The latest WhatsApp update brings secure end-to-end encryption for all users. Deactivating them again is not that easy. Because there is no function for simple switching on and off. We still have a trick if you don't want encrypted chats. Unfortunately, this only works with Android smartphones.
Disable encryption on WhatsApp
- End-to-end encryption cannot be switched off, but it only exists with the new versions.
- To use WhatsApp without encryption, you need to download and install an older version of WhatsApp as an APK file on your smartphone.
- So that your smartphone does not automatically update the old WhatsApp version, you must also deactivate the updates for WhatsApp.
- Note: In group chats, your friends cannot chat encrypted if you use the old WhatsApp version without encryption.
