At least I can trust WhatsApp enough around security.
Funny how Mark Zuckerberg himself was found out using Signal over his own messaging app. Raises some suspicions, doesn’t it?
If I really want to upgrade my privacy or freedom, I would have chosen either Matrix, Signal or Session.
It’s not like you had any privacy with a messaging app that is owned by Meta to begin with for you to be able to upgrade it in the first place.
When not even the owner of WhatsApp uses WhatsApp, I find it unreasonable why anyone else would want to use WhatsApp. Like, its owner doesn’t use it for a reason that is bad enough to make him use Signal over his own messaging app which apparently “respects” privacy.
Sure as hell does.
E2EE isn’t the only factor you should take into the matter if you care about your privacy. Who knows, maybe WhatsApp stores plain text in the drive. Maybe they send the private keys of the WhatsApp user to Meta. You don’t know since everything related to WhatsApp is closed-source.
What about the metadata WhatsApp collects? Metadata is a much more valuable thing than you might think it is.
Signal proved to collect as little metadata as possible with the response they gave to this subpoena.
On top of that, Signal is FOSS. If you had the choice to use one, choosing WhatsApp over Signal would be retarded.
Plus you might as well use the messaging app from the original creators of the Signal protocol that WhatsApp came to implement.
And also, if using both of them didn’t matter, care to give an explanation about why even Mark Zuckerberg, the owner of WhatsApp, decided to use Signal instead?

True, Mark Zuckerberg is using Signal, according to phone number leaked in Facebook hack
Not much difference because both signal and WhatsApp use the same protocol and encryption.

Because he has a lot of nerdy friends that use signal? Same reason anyone else would choose one messenger over another i’d guess.
