Hum! No idea if whatsapp encrypts attachments. Not all email clients do.


Reminds me of a different issue: whatsapp backups. By default, they are 
not encrypted. I tried to enable encryption for a month or so, but most 
days it failed. In the end, I had to disable it.

There is a court case here where the accused deletes everything 
periodically, so the court is now trying to get access to the backups. 
Yes, both Google and Whatsapp have promised to help.
