To make WhatsApp's privacy promise something you could feel, we worked with Meta on a stunt in the loudest place on the planet: a spot in Times Square that beams sound only to the person standing on it.

Step on, and a message from WhatsApp reaches you alone while the city roars around you. Privacy you could actually stand in. The idea was shortlisted at Cannes Lions and took home a Bronze Cube at the ADC Annual Awards.
