minus-squaremiss_brainfart@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up4·1 year ago WhatsApp is E2EE in theory Didn’t Signal even work together with them, to implement their protocol? But anyway, as far as I know, WhatsApp only encrypts message contents, not the associated metadata. So they’re still able learn a lot about you.
minus-squarevector_zero@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 year agoI believe WhatsApp uses the same protocol (or at least the same crypto algorithms), though I’m not sure if they were involved in its development. Good point on the metadata. Signal has the “sealed sender” thing, which (I think) helps with the metadata problem somewhat.
