    “Privacy conscious WhatsApp users” 😂 My sides.

    WhatsApp could flip on ads right now, right in the middle of messages and the majority wouldn’t switch.

      They put ads in I’m switching. People can send me SMS for all I care

          If any popular messaging apps were recording the screen, it would have been discovered by now. Plenty of people are reverse engineering popular apps all the time.

            That came out wrong. It’s just a way to say that E2EE doesn’t matter if you’re in an environment or app that has control over everything until the actual message is encrypted and sent. Closed source apps are to be trusted much less than opensource apps in this regard.
