12. WhatsApp is using 256-bit end-to-end encryption.
This means the messages you’ll send will be protected with the security layer. This means no one, not even WhatsApp can read your messages.
E2E encryption means every message you sent from your device is protected with a lock, it means it contains a secure layer no one can suggest that particular key.
When you’ll receive the messages then only your WhatsApp can decrypt that code and can read the text.
It can also be understood by taking an example, suppose I have given you a puzzle and there is a third person who carries that puzzle to you.
Until the puzzle will reach you it remains unsolved when it will reach you it becomes automatically solved and makes a visual picture that you can easily understand.
This is what we call E2E encryption.
The messages are protected by that encryption and no one can read the text in-between sending and receiving the messages.
13. You can do basic formatting of your text messages and can send the messages with bold, italic, and strikethrough.
There is a trick to using the formatting feature.
If you want to use the bold feature then you need to put the * symbol before and after the text or sentence.
For italics, you need to place that star with_ and for strike through it’ll be ~.
You can use these formatting options for making your text messages more appealing and attractive.
