Whether I like it or not, I have to use it because it's what everyone here uses. There is no point in having a perfect fully audited free software messenger if nobody uses it. I'm just glad that everyone is using something this secure by default. At this point I'm just counting my blessings.

WhatsApp encryption is strong enough to defeat criminal investigations in my country. That has to count for something. They got so angry about it they blocked WhatsApp services for days and jailed Facebook people.
