Thanks! That's kind to say. I shared some notes on crypto issues more recently in another post above, but I would concede its generally more battle tested than the first version released at this point. The choice to start with home rolled crypto at all continues to concern me, but more importantly the fact that it's not default is now my biggest sticking point if I'm honest. I think WhatsApp comes with an asterisk in that I'd certainly recommend signal over it, but most non-technical people have never heard of signal so given the choice between WhatsApp and Telegram I'd personally opt for WhatsApp based on their e2e encryption by default, but I could understand if someone personally gave more weight to a distrust of Meta (even if encrypted) than they do to Telegram and made use of Telegram's secret chats.
