WhatsApp Chief Confirms iPad App is a Possibility: 'We'd Love to Do It'

Then there is the fact that Telegram is really only intended for uneducated rubes who circle jerk about racism and anti-vax conspiracies.

Huh? Maybe paper is also for uneducated rubes... Cuz ppl use it to protest against vax? Telegram is a messaging app and everyone can use it how they want,
You're talking nonsense, sorry

Because you’re being tracked you shouldn’t care about being tracked. I’m no Vulcan but that seems … illogical.

It's not only about tracking, WhatsApp sucks in general, try telegram and you'll see what you're missing out

While it’s certainly a big limitation to have 1 device at a time, Telegram is instantly a non-starter as there’s no E2E encryption outside of secret chats, and those are dubious at best with a doodoo encryption protocol in MTProto.

What's wrong with secret chat? Is your chats so private that you're afraid it's not so encrypted? If you really wanna have a secret conversation you can use secret chat, but why should it be the default if it has so much limitations??

WhatsApp on web was so terrible J stopped using it

The company hass had years to make the app available on the iPad and hasn't bothered. "Love to do it" is just a smokescreen

Agree, WhatsApp desktop is still raw, especially compared to telegram,

The myth of End-to-End Encryption boosts the ignorance of some Signal fans, although they cannot hide their phone number.

Secret Chat is poorly encrypted. And still uses the embarrassingly weak MTProto to deliver it. Anyone can create an MTProxy server and intercept it. It also means you won’t have your chat available anywhere other than the device you receive it on - so there goes any “available on multiple devices” advantage - might as well use Signal now.

Anyway, the fact that E2EE is not available:
1- by default
2- on desktop apps
3- for group messages
Tells you exactly how secure it really is.

And then you take the fact the most famous cryptographers will tell you MTProto offers terrible encryption with incredibly weak fingerprints… well… you just need to apply some critical thinking.

Depends where you live. In China, Turkey, Russia, and many other countries, it's not only for advertising.

Sure, but for the rest of us, not so. At least for now.
