The messaging app's boss has taken to social media to deny Mr Musk's claim it 'exports user data.'
WhatsApp boss Will Cathcart has hit back at claims from Elon Musk that the messaging app "exports your user data every night."He pointed to the fact WhatsApp messages are end-to-end encrypted, meaning they cannot be read by the company at all.
On another Meta platform, Threads, Mr LeCun also levelled further criticisms at Mr Musk, accusing him of making contradictory and unrealistic claims about artificial intelligence and "spewing conspiracy theories" on his own social media platform. Mr Musk's vague language - simply saying that "user data" was being uploaded - could however be interpreted to refer to metadata, the extra bits of information sent alongside the actual message.
It is known that WhatsApp does share some metadata with other platforms Meta owns - but this does not include messages.
