What does the message ‘changed your security code’ mean?
In general, the ‘changed your security code’ message means that all your WhatsApp conversations are end-to-end encrypted. In this way, only you and the receiver can read what is sent, not even the messaging app will have access to what was sent.
In this sense, your messages are secured with locks and only you and the receiver have the special codes/keys to open and read the messages. For added protection, each message you send has its own unique lock and code.
Also, the security code changes every day or hour so that no intruder can hack your account or take over the conversations. It is located on your contacts information screen and is available in the form of a QR code and 60 digits.
