According to the report, the Meta-owned platform is planning to add indicators that will remind users that all calls made from its platform are end-to-end encrypted. The indicator will appear in the form of a message that reads, “Your personal calls are end-to-end encrypted”. For voice and video calls made from its platform, this message will appear in the Calls tab of the app under every call made or received.

The messaging platform is also planning to display it in the Status section of the app. Wherein it will appear in the section where status updates of other users are displayed. The report also revealed that in addition to adding the end-to-end encryption indicator to Calls and Status tabs, WhatsApp is also planning to add the same to chats.

In related news, WhatsApp is also developing a feature to choose "My Contacts Except..." for your privacy settings, in a future update. When you select “My Contact Except…” you can choose who cannot see your information on WhatsApp. This feature will be likely released on WhatsApp Web/Desktop when WhatsApp has completely rolled out the same feature on Android beta and iOS beta.

Please note that beta testers cannot see and choose “My Contacts Except…” on WhatsApp Web/Desktop, even if the feature “My Contacts Except…” is already enabled for their WhatsApp account.
