Viber plans to roll out a host of new features in the coming weeks to provide users with a clear picture of how secure their communications are. Not only does this level of security make breaking into the app almost impossible, it also means that Viber may not be able to provide law enforcement with access to the communications of an alleged criminal. The new encryption means that Viber will not be able to access the content of user messages or conversations. As an indirect response to the FBI’s efforts to force Apple to unlock an encrypted iPhone, the wave of new encryption signals a turning point in the future of digital privacy. The move follows WhatsApp’s decision to protect the communications of its more than a billion users with end-to-end encryption earlier this month.
Messaging and voice app Viber announced on Tuesday that it is adding end-to-end encryption to its platform of 711 million users.
