When Zuckerberg is unhappy with your actions it means you’ve done something right. Keep it up Apple. I’m loving the new iOS update.

He says Apple stores backups but WhatsApp does not. Well no not WhatsApp itself but the backups are stored in iCloud or Google drive there. They're optional but you can never tell if a recipient has it switched on.

So IMO it's just as compromised as iMessage on this point.

Also, iCloud backups are (at least in part) client-side encrypted, if I’m not mistaken

I'm not sure what you call "client-side encryption". As far as I know, ICloud is not end-to-end encrypted, so Apple can read anything on your ICloud if they want to.

Zuckerberg is angry someone is gaining traction by playing against his 'needs'. Good.

Of course Facebook is the prime example of user privacy. Throwing stones in a glass house.

Apple and Google should also consider banning WhatsUp in Europe, because of it's illegal "upload my Contacts"-function.

Anybody care to make a Archive snapshot of the article?

An earnings call is not where you make a political diatribe.
