Comment on Whatsapp has begun working on support for third party chats (Telegram/Signal)
Asudox@lemmy.world 1 year agoIt indeed is not a good thing, because Signal might not do shit with your data, but WhatsApp might. Your conversation is mirrored to the WhatsApp user afterall. Though It would be nice if it was an optional and “dangerous” option to enable in the advanced options section. Because I’d rather use Signal’s app over using WhatsApp if I am not going to succeed in getting others to jlin Signal at the very least.

Just… Don’t put stuff in the WhatsApp chat that you wouldn’t like shared… I don’t see how it’s bad, it’s not like all your convos are being mirrored and it’s something you never have to use if you choose not to, but it’s be nice to be able to talk to those people who will never migrate away that I’ve completely lost contact with outside of Facebook since leaving WhatsApp.

Yeah I guess that would be an option. I can just send them sensitive stuff over email with encryption.

I saw your other reply, I think having the cross platform connection could help solve the issues where they just deleted it a few days later. Now you can convince them to switch because they can still communicate.

I doubt that. I remember seeing a Signal blog or Signal forum member say that Signal will not interoperate with WhatsApp due to its privacy risks.

If it is sensitive data I would not use email.

I am not planning to send sensitive stuff in plain text, but in an encrypted way.
