It’s also noteworthy that even though all your communication on WhatsApp uses E2E encryption, the company does not encrypt backups (cloud and local). That’s a good thing, because the Signal protocol is open source, widely peer-reviewed, and is generally considered one of the best protocols for implementing end-to-end encryption in messaging platforms. That said, it’s noteworthy that WhatsApp uses the E2E protocol developed by Open Whisper Systems, which is the name behind Signal messenger. WhatsApp can’t decrypt the contents of your messages, calls, photos, etc, thus ensuring your security and privacy. What that means, is that you and the recipient are the only people who can read the messages you send to them. So all your messages, video calls, voice calls, photos, and anything else you share is end-to-end encrypted on WhatsApp. Plus, E2E on WhatsApp is available on every single mode of communication that the app enables. Google Messages also uses the Signal Protocol to encrypt the RCS (chat features) messages.One thing that WhatsApp definitely has going for it is its end-to-end encryption. Signal uses the open-source Signal Protocol, which is one of the most powerful and used by apps like WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger.
In the instant messaging mode, the conversations are end-to-end encrypted. There aren’t many surprises because both are the same regarding encryption. I like the location feature of Google Messages because while sending your location, it shows the nearby places to send if you like to meet at one of those locations.
Google Messages, on the other hand, supports the below options:
Due to the SMS and MMS limitations, both apps have size limits. Signal allows you to send photos, videos, voice, contact, and location. Signal also supports opening the menu by clicking on the profile icon in the top-left corner.
You can access the settings menu in the top right section. The top search row can search for names and discussions. Both have a simple interface where you see conversations one by one.
