Interesting, I wonder if its due to making sure the messages are traceable and staff are accountable. As stated by the authorities

Or is there something they know that we dont? Lemmy has made me paranoid about the security of messaging apps…

(I have no idea how to read code so I wouldn’t have a clue)

    WhatsApp has been exploited before with a zero-day, check the Complaints section in this link:

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pegasus_(spyware)

    The reality is WhatsApp and Signal will continue to be high-value targets for exploits given the number of users, cloud infrastructure reliance and promise of secure communications, so it’s a wise idea to avoid them for defence matters.
