How is this different from e.g Telegram web client? I don't see a reason why this couldn't be done safely. I wonder if it's possible to prevent Whatsapp from serving some people a modified web client though.
Anyway, as much as I dislike Telegram, their desktop client is UX-wise miles ahead of web clients or electron trash.
- dijit 9y agoSecret chats never leave the device basically. The problem I have with telegram is that /by default/ it's security is very poor. It's stored and relayed by their servers so you can have a unified chat history. However, if you hit the secret chat button I don't see a reason to think that this is stored in any way by them (and auditing the client I use confirms this for Qt linux desktop/iOS)
- Spivak 9y agoYour running into exactly the problem that Signal faced when people asked for a web client. It can't really be done securely unless you're willing to put ultimate trust in Signal's servers and the CA system.
