In the article about the WhatsApp beta for Android 2.22.11.10 update, we explained that WhatsApp was rolling out a new footer and security page for end-to-end encryption to certain beta testers. The feature is now rolling out to iOS beta users that install the latest iOS beta from TestFlight:
After updating to the new WhatsApp beta for iOS 22.11.0.73 update, a new footer for end-to-end encryption shows up at the bottom of your status updates, call history, chats list, and devices list. The page that shows up when tapping the footer informs people what is secured by end-to-end encryption: text and voice messages, audio and video calls, photos, videos, and documents, location sharing, and status updates. Note that the same page is also available right within WhatsApp Settings > Account > Security. If you want to learn more about how end-to-end encryption secures your information on WhatsApp, visit their official website.
Something else about the update: it fixes an issue with media auto-download, where the settings were reset to default every time the app was killed, and the cells in WhatsApp Settings are now smaller.
The new footer is rolling out today and more activations are planned in the next few updates.
