Proprietary app that decrypts all my messages? I’d rather pay for element x

also has been acquired by Automatic, who owns Tumblr and has automatically opted Tumblr users into a data training pool for OpenAI and Midjourney.

Hey, this looks super interesting though there's something i did not fully understand: "Fully end-to-end encryption local Signal bridge (local WhatsApp and all e2ee network bridges coming soon)" Does that mean we get send to end encryption for Signal and Whatsapp and more coming later? I'm assuming i would have to have a WhatsApp account and login through this app to receive Whatsapp messages?

Yes and yes. It runs the bridge and en/decrypts messages locally on your device, so full e2ee is preserved. The bridge still has to login to your messenger accounts, so nothing changes there.
