This feature is added by hike buddies by keeping wifi users in their mind. If you are on public wifi then there is no need to worry about the passive attacks and
eavesdropping. You have to just switch on the 128 bit SSL encryption inside settings->privacy. Chat logs are safe with hike. While whatsapp(android) chat logs gets saved inside whatsapp-> database folders in the SD card which are encrypted but can be converted to plain text with third party applications and python scripts. Also if you are on a open public wifi then the whatsapp chat logs are highly vulnerable to be sniffed by the other users who are also on the same wifi.
