WhatsApp Encrypting Only Message Contents; Other Conversation Data Remains Unencrypted

WhatsApp’s encryption move has been revealed to encrypt only the message contents. Other metadata related to the conversation, such as date and time info and recipient numbers remain unencrypted. WhatsApp’s legal clause also gives it permission to retain and collect any information which it is “legally compelled” to collect.
