If one is really good I suppose, but the average or even above average person won't be able to.

Isn't Whatsapp encrypted? I thought that was the whole selling point for it being better than normal texts/iMessages

Yeah but don't know what it means.

It means the messages sent back and forth are scrambled up, and then descrambled into plain text on your machine so if someone intercepts it, it's nonsense. It's usually scrambled up so good that if you tried to "brute force" it (ie methodically check every single possible combination) it would take you longer than the heat death of the universe.

Tom Scott did some great videos on this when he was still with computerphile, he explains it a little more simply.

There is a website on which you upload a pic and then send the pic's URL to the person whose IP you want traced. Do not open this link yourself, just send them to the person and once you are sure they have opened it then go to the link and you will get all the stats, including their IP.
