Focussed on security, privacy to help users communicate in everyday life: WhatsApp

India TV News  

WhatsApp Vice President Chris Daniels Wednesday said the company is focussed on values like security and privacy to ensure that its product remains a utility that helps users communicate in everyday life. WhatsApp, however, had rejected India's demand for a solution to track the origin of messages on its platform, saying building traceability will undermine end-to-end encryption and affect privacy protection for users. The partnership with Invest India will help WhatsApp in driving awareness about its business tools in around 15 states impacting over 60,000 businesses in the coming months through tools such as Startup India 'Yatra' programme and other in-person training events. Through this partnership with WhatsApp, we aim to support the innovative startups in India and to create solutions not only for India but the entire world," Deepak Bagla, CEO and MD at Invest India, said.
