Not necessarily - Signal can show a warning icon to people they're having conversations with / only enable the feature if everyone in the group is on an official client. Nothing about it being open source prevents this, and conversely, making Signal closed source wouldn't prevent people exfiltrating content via jailbroken phones etc. (Or via screenshots, as others have mentioned.)

- geofft 7y agoDo the mobile platforms give you a way to authenticate an app as the official app of a certain ID? I thought they did but now that I think harder I'm not actually sure how to implement it. If they do, it's "just" that plus jailbreak detection.
