How much do you believe Whatsapp and Facebook is connected in the backend? Any info on this specifically, especially since theres rumors stirring up that Whatsapp, Facebook, and Instagram are going to come together very soon. I mean your friends and family did choose an encrypted service over an uncrypted one. Better something than nothing no?



I firmly believe they're fully connected, and all information that is possible and reasonable to share is being shared. They paid $22 billion for WhatsApp. What did they pay for, exactly?


DAUs.

Whatsapp is end-to-end encrypted, so they're not connected data-wise.


Is end-to-end encryption applied to files?
