Whatsapp is using the signal protocol, which is open. So the app itself might be proprietary, but not the implementation.

Cihta@lemmy.world 8 months agoWhat is your demo? In my world it’s quite different. Isn’t Whatsapp proprietary? And I know few that will bother with signal these days. I’ve started getting obvious spam invites on it as well so…
RCS should just be the standard. There is no reason to argue that… it doesn’t end the apps you use but many of us are tired of multiple apps.

Is RCS encrypted? I still prefer signal above everything else. Whatsapp seems to be passable privacy wise, but it’s Facebook so I don’t trust it one bit.
One way or another, Whatsapp is the standard around the world and it for sure beats SMS.
