Web client and encryption

Web

At this moment, we can say WhatsApp is preparing a web client, as far as i know, you will login with your WhatsApp acount through the web client using OAuth, so the web client will send a request to your mobile client, if you accept this it will login in the web client. All the data sent via web is synced with your mobile device and it also sends data like: battery, if device is plugged...

This should be the website: https://web.whatsapp.com

Encryption

WhatsApp is starting to encrypt text and media messages in the newer versions. Right now, the text or media is being sent ciphered and in plain so the older clients still receive the messages. We'll try to implement this as soon as possible, we are working hard :)

New feature: Web platform

Hey there! @SikiFn, @CODeRUS and i (@mgp25) found a new feature. It seems WhatsApp is preparing a web platform or similar. At this moment there aren't many functions but we can assure this functions are web related.

Things like:

sendWebDisconnect()
this.web_event_handler
"xmlns":"w:web"

We'll keep you informed as we discover more information.

Redards.
