*As Per Recent Update, a bug is found in Zoom, that is intentionally or non-intentionally leaking information of users to third parties. The app is also found guilty of false claiming of calls being end-to-end encrypted when they are not. The service provider is routing traffic through China so it is also a concern for user data privacy. However, the company is trying to solve all the issues, and as per their response to Zoom, 5.0 will have some major privacy-focused enhancements such as encryption to standard AES 256-bit GCM, and some other upgrades in its privacy and security protocols. So update to Zoom 5.0 ASAP.
