What happens when WhatsApp gets subpoenaed?

WhatsApp's encryption protects the content of your messages. It does not protect everything else.

Who you talked to. When. How often. From which device. From which location. That metadata lives on Meta's servers and it's accessible to any government with the right legal request.

In 2021, WhatsApp provided user data in response to thousands of law enforcement requests across multiple countries. The messages were encrypted. The metadata wasn't.

Encryption protects what you say.
It doesn't protect that you said it.
