Also known as: E2EE chat, encrypted messaging

Last updated August 9, 2026

Definition

End-to-end encrypted chat scrambles messages so only the sender and recipient devices can read them — not the messaging company in transit (when implemented correctly).

Real-World Example

Apps that mark chats as end-to-end encrypted help protect message contents on open Wi‑Fi.
