"Your personal messages will still be protected by end-to-end encryption — ensuring they stay between you and the person you’re communicating with and are not visible to anyone in between, not the proxy servers, WhatsApp, or Meta."

The post goes on to directly cite the situation in Iran, where WhatsApp and Instagram are currently blocked amid ongoing protests that began following the death of Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old who died after being arrested for "unsuitable attire".
