Original post text

Given the recent detainment of a French person who got detained because he said something bad about the current administration in his WhatsApp messages. It makes me wonder if WhatsApp is truly end to end encrypted as they claimed. How did they even single him out?

As a corollary question, if I were to pass Customs, and if I delete WhatsApp , Reddit etc just before I reach the counter, will they be able to find out that I just deleted the apps minutes ago? I’ll be deleting them from my phone but keep them on the cloud.

    Note, it seems you are not allowed in this reddit to express an opinion containing doubt about the security of WhatsApp - it will be removed by mods. As such, you can not read the replies here and form a judgement about what the consensus is.

    Or, you know, obvious astroturfing as an excuse to promote alternatives is against the rules.
