        Did you take into account that the majority of users of WA store their entire chat histories not encrypted on Google Drive/iCloud?

        A citation would be helpful; looks opt-in to me. But in any case externalities are less relevant than app behavior itself.

        Your work is admirable, but respectfully, I believe it more helpful to respond to criticism through patch notes rather than Twitter.

        You can't "patch" intended behavior. Telegram provides built-in encrypted cloud for the users who need it.https://twitter.com/durov/status/778629097903779840 …

        Most users want backups. And if you don't build a secure one into your service, they will use one from Google or Apple.

        And real e2e for those who don't. While Whatsapp can switch off their "e2e" remotely from their server for any user at any time.

        @CeBonVieuxJack WhatsApp's now default sharing of contacts with FB evens things up on the danger front for non-experts.

        E2E doesn't protect metadata. You can assume anyone can find out the communicating parties easily.
