This is no real surprise, if true. Ever since Meta got their grubby hands on WhatsApp they’ve been trying to find ways to get through its encryption. For a while the only thing stopping that was a few senior members of the WhatsApp team resisting these demands. But that kind of defiance can only last so long when they are your employer.
I’ve been trying to use Signal more, mostly due to concerns over Meta probably snooping on the WhatsApp communications. But some of my contacts either don’t want to switch or they can’t get Signal working correctly (they can’t see or find contacts - an issue I’ve seen myself).
I deleted WhatsApp completely a couple months ago.
Those who really need to text me can get Signal, send a regular text message or just send an email. The main thing I am missing out on is forwarded memes and unecessery voice messages - so quite honestly nothing of any imporance!
Oh how I hate voice messages. There’s a reason I disabled voicemail for my phone.
If you wanna talk, call me. Otherwise: write.
And if you’re driving: don’t! I can wait.
