Pressure grows on Apple to open up iMessage::Samsung has joined Google’s campaign to force Apple to make iMessage RCS-compatible—but European regulators are more likely to get that job done.
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.
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?
Moving the goal post does not make you right.
Besides, I have never seen proven concepts of inserting malicious agents without group chat’s permissions.
How about one group member is compromised? Or was FSB agent all along? There is no safe option for big group chats WHEN BAD ACTORS KNOW WHO YOU ARE.
Then don’t move it. Here’s friendly reminder:
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.
Do you use E2EE for all your chats? I think nearly nobody does.
It’s on by default with every convo in WA.
they still collect the messages’ metadata and create a profile based on that.
