It's whatsapp but without that robot boy secretly reading your messages.
1 u/MacrosInHisSleep Feb 18 '25 Isn't whatsapp E2E encrypted though? 5 u/DystopianGalaxy Feb 18 '25 Its supposed to be, but it's closed source. You can't tell what it does under the hood, and with it being Meta, nothing good. Signal is open sourced, it's code can be checked in its entirety by anyone to make sure it does what it promises. 2 u/quelar Feb 18 '25 Exactly it, you're trusting this guy to be honest. No thanks.
