the claim

WhatsApp end-to-end encryption is enabled by default.

the verdict
INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources
3 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that WhatsApp end-to-end encryption is enabled by default?

Unclear. The retrieved sources only partially support the claim: one paper notes WhatsApp adopted the Signal Protocol as its default, and another confirms WhatsApp has implemented end-to-end encryption, but none explicitly states that end-to-end encryption is enabled by default for all users.
