WhatsApp is testing identifying when chats are end-to-end encrypted on Android.

That’s according to WABetaInfo, which spotted that a new “end-to-end encrypted” indicator that appears briefly at the top of chat threads was under development in late January. Yesterday, the outlet reported that the test is now rolling out to beta testers.

The change is being tested as Meta rolls out third-party chat interoperability in the EU.
