Signal or at least Telegram or Viber. Fuck WhatsApp, I'd like at least my messenger app to not belong to Facebook of all companies.

Whatsapp is actually better than Telegram lol. You fell for Telegrams marketing lol

At least Telegram doesn't show your fucking phone number

They can literally read your messages by default lol

For now. Facebook has said that they plan to disable end-to-end encryption in WhatsApp at some point, so that you can receive messages from people using Facebook Messenger.

Any FSB agent can connect any whatsapp message to person who wrote it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

That's just plain wrong.

Whatsapp is using the Signal Protocol.

To read your messages they need to get your phone. And now even your Backups are encrypted, so they can't read your Messages from there.

What encryption will do against someone who is in same group chat?

[–] [email protected] -3 points 10 months ago (2 children)

While it's all still E2E encrypted I don't really care what servers it goes though. If the UK/EU manage to get encryption blocked then I'll worry.

they still collect the messages' metadata and create a profile based on that.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Do you use E2EE for all your chats? I think nearly nobody does.

It's on by default with every convo in WA.
