"When you use Signal, your data is stored in encrypted form on your devices. The only information that is stored on the Signal servers for each account is the phone number you registered with, the date and time you joined the service, and the date you last logged on."
This isn't an ad, I wasn't paid for this post. Just to clear the air: fuck facebook, fuck elon musk and twitter, fuck anyone who thinks this is a paid advertisement. I wish I was paid for this shit, I just wanted to spread the word. Thank you. đ đ

Isn't Whatsapp encrypted end to end?
Facebook owns it.
That doesn't bother me as long as the messages are encrypted end to end.
It does matter whoâs telling you that youâre safe trusting them.
I hear what you're saying and I'm not trying to promote Whatsapp, but want to note that backups do offer encryption. They did not use to and I believe it is off by default, however.
I hear your point as well. I just innately donât trust Facebook. I canât help but feel like, while they put out a public idea of their work, there is very much some secret shit they keep hidden, and itâs all the worst shit you can expect from someone with their hands on the data and power they have their hands on.
Personal choices. I canât trust FB. Although, I donât live in Europe or South America, so I have the option to avoid WhatsApp. When I lived in both of those other places, WhatsApp was basically texting because it was free, whereas actual texting is expensive (maybe thatâs changed, but WhatsApp is ubiquitous in other countries unlike it is in the US).
