Hi TechyGuru, and welcome to the forum!
That’s a really thoughtful question. From what we know, WhatsApp’s video calls are secured using end-to-end encryption, much like its text messages. This means that only the people involved in the call should be able to view its contents. In theory, this setup makes it extremely difficult for any outsider to intercept a video call. However, as with any technology, no system is 100% foolproof if vulnerabilities do emerge or if there are exploits in other parts of our technology ecosystem.
I’ve always found it interesting how secure communications are evolving. Whenever I chat or video call on apps like WhatsApp, I make sure to keep my apps updated to benefit from the latest security patches and improvements. It’s a good habit because updates often close potential loopholes that could be exploited in the future.
Also, while the idea of someone “hacking” a video call might catch our attention, it’s worth remembering that many of the alarms around hacking typically stem from theoretical scenarios or isolated incidents where other factors (like malware on a device) played a role. For everyday users, maintaining good digital practices—such as using updated software, not clicking on unknown links, and being cautious with downloads—goes a long way in keeping our online communications secure.
I hope this helps address your curiosity! Please feel free to ask more questions or share your thoughts on digital safety; it’s always great to have these discussions here. Stay safe online!
