Keeping your chats secure is a good idea, but end-to-end encryption is just the beginning of the list of options to consider when picking a messaging app.

    Considering the US government now owns Meta and thus WhatsApp, it’s an interesting case… why did they use signal?

      because “they” don’t trust the people they “represent” and they want to avoid federal archives

      they must know something about WhatsApp that we don’t

        There’s nothing to know; facebook is facebook, and nobody trusts facebook for data security. Whatsapp is not, nor will it ever be, true end to end encryption, when facebook owns the locks and keys.

      If there is backdoor for them, then there is a backdoor for everybody who knows where to look.
