Unfortunately, even as a software engineer (although a mediocre one) I don't even know which one is actually safer.

I know that Whatsapp encrypts everything on the device so that's a really good start.

But I have no clue what security holes, backdoors, etc are in neither of them and we are leaving in dangerous times.

So basically the only thing I really trust is GPG-encoded emails which noone uses.
