[...] the most secure messaging app in the world, Signal.

That's a very bold claim the author of the article makes.

WhatsApp does use that same Signal protocol for its messages but that's very poor writing considering all the tracked metadata arguably makes it just as insecure as Telegram.

So the Hunter Biden case is a complete farce but I found it alarming that they were proving WhatsApp messages as evidence during the trial. Clearly the messages aren't encrypted against Meta, or they hold keys users don't know about or they wouldn't be able to furnish messages.

Or possibly a user's phone who was a party to the Whatsapp conversation was collected as evidence and unlocked by the user.
