A Bloomberg report alleged a US investigation into former Meta contractors' claims of unfettered access to WhatsApp messages, despite end-to-end encryption. WhatsApp has vehemently denied these claims, calling the reports false and stating that neither the company nor its contractors can access encrypted communications. The Bureau of Industry and Security also disavowed any such investigation.
