Does user privacy when using WhatsApp Web (https://web.whatsapp.com) differ substantially from using WhatsApp on Android? WhatsApp on Android has end-to-end encryption and (optional) encrypted backups. If I use WhatsApp Web, will Meta be able to see the contents of my WhatsApp messages?

    Would you like to be hit with a full or empty glass bottle?

    If you really have to use it, web application would not be that agressive to ask for permissions and that’s it. You can use app like Shelter to isolate WhatsApp’s Android app so it would not have your contact and installed apps list.
