    Messaging apps: we are the more secure app with better privacy over the other

    Governments: whatever. Share data or get banned 🤣

      GAMIR3DH, 14 Feb 2023Whatsapp has "End to end" yet still gets messages... moreWhatsapp is end to end encrypted but files are stored on the device itself.

      That has a pro of not being able to read unless you have access to the device.

      That also has a con that having access to the device, still gives you a way to leak it.

      Most stuff gets leaked by more simple methods like screenshots or just accessing a device in some way.

      Being end to end encrypted is fun and all, but as long everything on each end is not secure enough, the whole end to end is useless.

      And you would be surprised how many govs use outdated software that lack security patches.

        Encrypted language is more secure than Telegram & WhatsApp

          Pigeon are only safe . It's a total joke WhatsApp calling itself end to end encrypted when they obey indian it rule to share anything and everything about a person to the government.



          It is only safe from teenage try hard hackers . That's all

            Whatsapp has "End to end" yet still gets messages leaked/shared to people/goverments. Hmmm
