No, WhatsApp is not part of Signal. That's false. The opposite is true: Signal is part of Whats App. The problem is we have no idea what else is.

I've always laughed at people who insist Whatsapp messages are just as secure as Signal messages.

Like, prove to me Facebook isn't logging and storing every single cryptographic key generated in that entire protocol. Oh, you can't because the entire app is closed source? And you just blindly trust that Facebook is doing the right thing and not decrypting every message to scour it for every bit of information possible?

lol.

Correct, and that's what I meant. The person to whom I was responding understood me.
