> On WhatsApp there seems to be E2EE enabled but I have no idea what the keys are. The keys are shown right in the contact's profile under "Encryption", same as Signal. It even has a feature to validate their key by taking a picture of their screen. How could it be any easier for laypeople than that? |

> This code can be found in the contact info screen, both as a QR code and a 60-digit number. These codes are unique to each chat and can be compared between people in each chat to verify that the messages you send to the chat are end-to-end encrypted. Security codes are just visible versions of the special key shared between you - and don't worry, it's not the actual key itself, that's always kept secret
So basically it's just a random unique number and could have no relationship to the key whatsoever. We'll never know.
