In times of social distancing, digital communication via messenger services has increased significantly. But what about the security of the big messenger apps? What is a “must” to ensure the security of user data?

There are around 80 providers on the current instant messenger market. The best known and most frequented example is WhatsApp. According to Statista, the messenger service under the Facebook group was used by around 79 percent of Germans in 2019. WhatsApp has over two billion users worldwide. However, there is still a lot of criticism of the messenger giant in terms of data protection.

At the beginning of 2021, WhatsApp announced changes to the terms of use – which was postponed for the time being due to global criticism. Among other things, it is planned that certain chat and user data will be automatically forwarded to Facebook in order to optimize advertising on the platform, for example. The catch: If you do not confirm the new terms of use, you will no longer be able to use the service, or only to a very limited extent. This step met with harsh criticism in social media and opened the virtual space for questions about business use of WhatsApp & Co.

Private individuals need to be aware of the security gaps. Companies should carefully weigh up whether they meet the wishes of many employees and allow WhatsApp on business smartphones. Anyone who wants to remain anonymous in the digital world and operate in a data-secure manner as a company will probably avoid WhatsApp.
