This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
That is what the article is explaining. The contact names and details are encrypted.

Perhaps the call times are exposed but it seems it would be difficult or impossible for them to connect this with a human identity.
Use Signal if you have concerns about WhatsApp.
Thanks.
The planned improvements are a good thing. I thought we talked about the status right/ until now.
Also: What does it mean then Meta (the company) isn't eager to collect this data (anymore)? This doesn't fit my world view of this company.
They don' want to moderate contents of your convos, it got expensive.
They are still mining the meta data to create cohort groups.
