    WhatsApp uses a frontend-backend architecture. The native mobile apps are the frontend, using technologies like Java for Android and Swift for iOS. The backend is built using the Erlang programming language on a FreeBSD operating system. It uses protocols like Signal for encryption and Ejabberd as an XMPP application server. Mnesia is used as the database server and YAW as the web server. While WhatsApp claims to use end-to-end encryption, some argue this is a myth as WhatsApp can still access metadata and wants to share more user data with Facebook.

    Myth of End-to-End Encryption

    End-to-End Encryption (E2EE), is safe! So say WhatsApp,


    Telegram, iMessage, and too many others.
    Should we use Whatsapp for Official
    Conversation?

    In WhatsApp, once your messages are delivered, they are deleted from their servers.

    But, they just announced they would require data sharing with Facebook.

    Here comes the first question: if they can not read your messages, photos, videos and audios, what
    data do they want to send to Facebook?

    Contact names?.........
    Six Reasons Why You Should Delete
    Whatsapp

     Whatsapp wants to access all your contact details.


     Whatsapp keeps track of what you do.
     Whatsapp could share your information with police.
     Co-founder Brian Acton has left the company.
     Whatsapp sometimes asks you to break your end-to-end encryption.
     The Whatsapp code is not public.
