I think the point is they get to know the exact time you first see the notification. It’s a massive flaw in the OS, and I believe I have read about this years ago already, so that “privacy OS” is not intending to fix this leak

I was thinking about signal, and a fun fact is that if we invite all our friends and families to signal, then practically “none” of its users would care about such an incident either

well an email address is plenty for that, and it’s easy to refer to when the reporters are reporting because of an email sent

Well not nothing. Android apps are quite easy to reverse engineer so there would be a high risk of them getting caught which would be quite damaging for WhatsApp’s brand.

none of their users would care. but also good luck finding a news site that cares to write about it and has some reach

There is certainly nothing technical stopping them from doing it, but that’s true of Signal too.

isn’t signal built reproducibly, without obfuscation?

there is place for doubts, but you are speaking like end to end encryption has no use in online meetings
