Does Whatsapp connect to messenger like Instagram does? Not sure it's any better though, since it's still owned by Meta. I wish I could get everyone on signal

No, WhatsApp doesn’t.

Does Signal do end to end encryption? That's why I use telegram.

Yeah, encryption and security is signal's whole thing. They even removed the ability to send SMS a while back because they were prioritizing security over all else. Def check it out

Gotcha, thanks.

Of course it does? That's like one of the main headlining features of both Signal and Telegram, and why people were looking at either instead of Whatsapp. And it was even louder than Telegram about it, since telegram uses (or used) a closed source encryption, while Signal was vocally using an Open Source encryption standard if I remember correctly.
