WhatsApp is testing a new noise cancellation feature for voice and video calls on Android. [caption id="attachment_363009" align="alignnone" width="720"] Whatsapp[/caption] The system will filter out all background sounds which will enable users to understand your speech better. The feature will become available to all Android users of WhatsApp within several weeks or months if no technical problems arise. With this update, WhatsApp calls should become clearer and easier to hear, even in noisy environments. WhatsApp has announced that they will be rolling out end-to-end encryption for its user's backup messages. WhatsApp has already provided end-to-end encryption (E2EE) for its messages between sender and recipient, this time will be applying this to its user's chat history. This was previously saved via cloud-based services, but if the user opts for the E2EE backups, neither WhatsApp nor the backup service provider will be able to access their backup or their backup encryption key. To enable the E2EE backups, WhatsApp developers have created a new system for encryption key storage that works with both iOS and Android.
