Two questions.

My family insist on using Whatsapp for the family chats. I have to keep a copy on a device just so I can communicate with them. I do so under protest, as I was always told it isn’t secure. My brother has just said

“oh Whatsapp is encrypted, it’s perfectly secure”.

First, is it actually as encrypted and safe as my brother claims? That would solve everything.

Second, if it isn’t, where can I get some proof that we should switch to Telegram or whatever? Proof which doesn’t make me look like a raving loony?

    Caution, wiremin is closed source, there is no proof for any of its claims. The risk profile is even worse than WhatsApp, because there are not independent security researchers trying to tear it apart.

    Wiremin keeps popping up here in gorilla marketing. It has no discussion on privacy tools… All the mentions appear to be from the business creators.
