Closed source does mean it’s worse by default because we can’t verify what the app does. The only things we really know about Whatsapp are:
Meta is scanning your texts before the message is sent. Back when I last used it you could easily verify this by typing a url and having the app underline the url for you.
Meta is collecting an enormous amount of Metadata. This can also be verified by checking the permissions the app has and by various people that have monitored the background activity of the app.
Meta is using the Signal protocol to send the message. However, as previously explained this means nothing because they already scanned the message prior to sending it.
So with no way to look at the code we have to assume that Meta is collecting and storing the messages and their metadata.

You and a few others like stamets are unironically keeping Lemmy alive for me.
Thanks!
I think we should just reset the year counter after covid.
This year would be 4 A.C.
A 30-year-old’s birthday would be 26 B.C.
While my boomer parents have obviously participated in the system and profited from it, they have never voted for a party that lead us down this path. Are they also to blame?
It think that he is slowly realizing the change in public perception of him and as a narcissist it’s getting to him. This could also explain the drug use too.
Weird. It works when I click the link. Regardless, thanks for correction it.
Does anyone know of a good way to sync the database to Proton drive?
This one still gets me.
It’s so normal for us to assume that the best course of action would have been to separate them if possible and here is the person affected by it saying otherwise.
