Will the new feature break end-to-end encryption?

When a user rates a message, WhatsApp cannot see its content and cannot see who rated that message. The feedback will be anonymous. The feature reportedly does not break end-to-end encryption of messages and therefore the rated messages remain invisible for WhatsApp.

What does the message rating feature mean for business account users on WhatsApp?

WhatsApp and business accounts would be able to see general feedback about sent messages from the business account. However, they will not be able to see who rated them. In its rating alert, WhatsApp states that these ratings will help businesses improve their messages to customers.
