Trust WhatsApp? You must be joking. We can't see the source and it's owned by an advertising company.

I'd trust iMessage over WhatsApp any day of the week. The parent company doesn't make money by potentially knowing who I am and what I say.

It would be nice if we could reason about security and privacy properties of software simply by considering which company or organization provided it, but that is not how software security --- particularly cryptographic software security --- works in the real world.
