Funnily enough, WhatsApp being E2E encrypted means it's one of the more private and secure chat apps out there.
It still records who you talk to, as well as how much and when. That info is held by the biggest peddler in privacy info out there. No way I trust Facebook/meta as much as any of the other e2e chat clients.
Oh yeah, other options are better. Implying that it's completely unsecure is just misleading.
Gotcha, good point.
The problem is, it's not open source... so whole E2E encryption is based on "trust us" method. We have no idea if implementation is any good or if it at all does what hey claim it does. Sure at some point they might have paid some company to do independent review but it's not on version-by-version basis.
E2E encrypted between facebook app #1 and facebook app #2, sure
