Is the code open ?

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

Of course not. And the often repeated "they use Signal protocol" means diddly squat because the code is closed source. They took Signal protocol at some point, forked it and did good knows what with it since experts cannot review it. ๐Ÿ™„

No. The Signal app offers similar functionality to WhatsApp core features and is open.
