WhatsApp has actively been saying it uses the Signal protocol and that they cannot read your messages, the files you send or listen on your calls. It does that on its own Status feature, its blog, channel and even website ads (which worked on tech-illiterate people that can't use an adblocker)
At least in the Netherlands, it's very actively pushing a “You don't need Signal, just us” message.
I was the one that got them on TG in the first place as it was a trustworthy, good alternative to WhatsApp, so it's gonna be a tall ask to move again from WhatsApp so soon
I guess I didn't know WhatsApp caught up that much to Telegram, the WhatsApp I knew used to support group chats and voice calls but nothing like channels, supergroups and following users, yet.
To be fair, American Standard Code for Information Interchange was only meant to display English, which doesn't care about the language your name is from.
