> I don't rely on Signals encryption, since there is no way to verify that it works in the way that it does Totally. Not everyone is a cryptographer to review the code and ensure the app they're downloading is what was compiled by the aforementioned vetted code. That's what F-Droid and cybersecurity audits attempt to solve (and Apple's vetting process, though I think their mandatory $100/yr developer license is what drives malware off the platform). The one reason to use Signal is privacy, and its replacement of Meta apps is under that umbrella.
