That’s not how encryption works. But you’re not wrong about it being owned by meta being a problem. There’s more info in a message than just the contents.
IIRC whatsapp’s automatic backups are stored in cloud and unencrypted by default. So it takes only one person in the group chat who has backups enabled (pop up reminds periodically if not) and no password is set (not required, takes effort and will to set) to leak everyone’s messages.
Context is important and voyager does not provide that. Many people respond to the wrong person in threads. For example you just replied to me about pronouns which isn’t my topic.
Tbf, I don’t read unames, and my app shows the pronouns in line with and the same color as the unames, so I don’t read those either.
Literally no clue who I’m even responding to right now. Doesn’t really matter who it is either, my response would be the same regardless of your race/gender/whatever else.
The one exception is whenever I see something profoundly stupid I will sometimes check the uname and go “ah yes cowbee again how predictable” but that’s just pure entertainment and learning who here not to waste energy on, most comments are just comments and don’t warrant that level of self preservation.
Nope, we use WhatsApp for escalation from clients when a ticket is too important to wait. Works great. Management talks to management and passes to us.
WhatsApp for business communications? Jesus
Whatapp is for business, and signal is for official government communication
Both are quite secure but neither of them stop an idiot on one end or the other from sharing the contents with the public.
I always find it funny how many people fail to understand the “end to end” part of end to end encryption.
If your endpoint isn’t secure then the messages aren’t.
whatsapp is closed source and meta owned. i think it’s incredibly foolish to trust that it has no backdoors built in.

you say that but they’re already thinking a step ahead and assuming meta left a backdoor or CVE at the behest of 3-letter agencies.
What’s facebook’s business plan? Right, surveillance capitalism.

I assume no encryption is safe from three letter gangs, at this point I’m only concerned with keeping grubby corporate fingers at bay.
Isn’t that true for any communications tool?
Works better than Teams.
Probably has better privacy and confidentiality options too.
There’s “WhatsApp for Business” & “WhatsApp Business Solutions”.
Catch-up, grandpa!
I’m aware the technologies exist - I can’t fathom wanting my sensitive communications served by meta.
Also, grandma* - my pronouns are right there.
Hey, just so you’re aware I’m reading this in Voyager and it does not display your pronouns like the web UI does.
It shows almost nothing and definitely leads to confusion about who is talking to who :(
Wait, what confusion? I use Voyager and I have no confusion about who is whom. I can see in the lower reply box that you are [email protected].
The only issue with pronouns is that people who assume default maleness should be locked up anyway, so that’s an entirely separate issue.
Huh? What the heck did i just read?

@[email protected] out here getting smoked on the regular 😅🤣
I think those are for sales, like b2c advertising. Not for how your business talks to each other internally to destroy databases.
