If I HAD to use one, which one would be better? While Whatsapp is owned by Facebook, they have end to end encryption for the messages, while the metadata is not. However, on Telegram, nothing is end to end encrypted unless you use a secret chat which most regular people are most likely not going to use. I have a feeling Whatsapp would be better but I wanted to hear your thoughts.
I prefer signal, but if I had to use WhatsApp or telegram, I would go with Whatsapp. Facebook having all your metadata sucks, but at least your messages aren’t stored on their servers for ever and it uses the signal protocol.
