How to enable & disable WhatsApp Encryption notifications

Instant Messaging giant WhatsApp has included a new end-to-end encryption security feature. This secures all of your messages & calls with 256-bit encryption code. Its mean, now you and your friend where you are sending your messages, only can see. WhatsApp servers, cybercriminals, hackers and law-enforcement agencies will not see or listen what you are sending. This is a great security feature and protects your privacy at the peak level.

And when your friend changes their mobile number or re-install the WhatsApp instant messenger, then you will see a notification message in the friends chat or group chat window. eg. “Friends name” security code changed. Tap for more info. These messages will remind you to re-sure that you and your friends are using the latest version of WhatsApp or not. Because the end-to-end Security will only work when you and your friends are using the latest version of WhatsApp. So these notifications are good for your security. If you want to receive these types of notifications messages then you can enable in Security Settings.

  10. As Saeed said, mine was already greay but notifications have not stopped.
    We didnt ask how to disable, we just dont want every chat to include the notification of end-to-end encryption.

    • Hello Ronnie, I checked my self, After turning off the Security Notification, I have not received any Encryption warning till now. I don’t know why is this happening with your WhatsApp. I think, it may be a bug. So please report it to WhatsApp, they can only solve your problem.

  11. We don’t want to disable the encryption of the communication –
    We just want the option to disable constant notification of the encryption status.

    Reply
    • Hello Ronnie, The method described above is only hide encryption notification messages and It does not disable your encryption connection.

      Reply
      • It does not hide encryption notifications; all it does is disable when a whatsapp contact changes security code, usually when they do some alteration on their whatsapp. IT DOES NOT STOP THE ANNOYING END-TO-END REMINDER THAT THE MESSAGES ARE ENCRYPTED! We are stuck with these! 🙁

  12. mine was already grey when i tried to disable it. i think encryption can not be disabled, it even says calls and messages you send are encrypted REGARDLESS of this settings, when possible

    • Hello Saeed, You are right. we can’t disable WhatsApp end-to-end encryption. And why to disable it, the feature protects our privacy. The article is about how we can disable end-to-end encryption messages. Which we receive when our friend security code changes.

        • First I want to clarify that This option will not remove your existing notifications. But for future it will not show any new Security notifications for your existing friends.
