WhatsApp chief Will Cathcart hits back at Elon Musk over app ‘not secure’ remark amid Meta privacy lawsuit

Meta has pushed back on allegations that it can secretly read users’ private messages on WhatsApp, with the messaging platform’s head, Will Cathcart, dismissing the claims as ‘totally false’.

Cathcart’s remarks were directly aimed at billionaire Elon Musk’s claims that WhatsApp is ‘not safe’, and that users should rather switch to X’s messaging service as a safer alternative for communication.
