Whatsapp was hugely popular before Meta bought it.

In fact, it lost quite a bit of users when Facebook bought it, as many tried to move their networks to Signal, Threema etc

So what was said is exactly right: nobody trusts Meta, rightly so

By the way, case in point, look what happened about Facebooks promise to keep Whatsapp data separate and private

More people use WhatsApp today than when it was purchased. “Quite a bit” is not how I’d describe it.
