It uses the same internal protocol as Signal, so they can't see the contents of messages. They can see the metadata, who you're sending messages to, but not what they say. If you are communicating with people outside North America, WhatsApp is what everyone uses. There has been spyware in WhatsApp, but it's malware planted by NSO's Pegasus product. Meta has spent a great deal of time and money successfully taking them to court to make it stop. https://techcrunch.com/2024/12/23/whatsapp-scores-historic-victory-against-nso-group-in-long-running-spyware-hacking-case/ -- Regards, John Levine, johnl@taugh.com, Primary Perpetrator of "The Internet for Dummies", Please consider the environment before reading this e-mail. https://jl.ly
