That’s another viewing angle coming to the same result :)
But even before Fcbook purchased Whatsapp, it’d have been the worse choice than Signal.
Nowadays Whatsapp is a very bad choice in a lot of ways except for network effect, which is the only real strength of it.
Speaking of network effect: back when Signal was TextSecure, I could message a total of 2 (two!) contacts with it and the UX was far from being awesome.
Signal has come a long way. The UX is great and I can message a lot of my contacts on Signal now.
What about whatsapp? Is that secure?
Security rarely comes in absolutes. Whatsapp doesn’t appear to be open source. That alone makes it security wise a worse choice than Signal.
Anything made by Facebook is the worse alternative.

The homies are all on Signal now, everyone else is on iMessage. It’s been a struggle, but we are getting there.
Nobody knows, because it is closed source. It migjt be, but it might just as well not be. Best to use Signal.
lol is Facebook secure?
