The messaging application WhatsApp says that "users of the app make more than one billion calls a day."

"More than two billion users turn to the WhatsApp each month to send 100 billion messages and to connect make more than one billion calls each day," WhatsApp said in a message released on Twitter.

In the same Tweet, WhatsApp mentioned the issue of data security, which has been causing users anxiety for some time, and announced the continuation of end-to-end encryption.

WhatsApp recently released an update on the privacy of its business accounts, saying that "the new terms must be accepted or the account will be deleted."

There was a strong reaction from users to the issue and many turned to other applications for messaging although WhatsApp tried to handle the issue through a series of explanations but users were disbanded after the update.

Numerous explanations for restoring end-to-end encryption may not be the same for app users. Users on the recent WhatsApp update expressed their concerns.

A user claimed that the metadata of messages is not encrypted, he wrote, “Whether I have a business account or not, I see the same ads as I talk to my friends. End-to-end encryption does not mean data privacy. You (WhatsApp) are still sharing data with an unreliable company.”
