This cryptography blog seems to, but... is WhatsApp really trusted as secure end-to-end encryption chat client?
Colloquially, for one thing it's now owned by one of the biggest personal-data collection companies in the world, which would have little interest in owning a chat client it couldn't benefit from data-wise. For another, I read an article mentioning it was "known" that WhatsApp decrypted your message, stored it, then resubmitted it encrypted to the destination. (Inconveniently, I can't seem to find the article now.) If, say, your life relied on privacy, would you trust WhatsApp, and if not, why?
