is whatsapp safe?

No, unless you let someone into your group chat, nobody can.

i don't use it but it's some strange sometimes sooo i don't think

The whatsapp encryption seem safe, but you can't delete your whatsapp messages.
You may end up sending the wrong stuff to the wrong person... then you're screwed.
I prefer telegram by far

Yes why not, i not think my chats are so interesting for the government :D

For me, whatsapp is pretty safe. But as this person says i feel that facebook kinda reads through for keywords and connect it to instagram, etc.

An example that happened the other day was: i was talking about Community (the show) with some friends and all of a sudden my instagram explore page exploded with community memes, posts, cast updates, and all that jazz.

I truly think facebook reads the messages but i dont have another good messaging system to talk to friends.

It's safe just gotta be careful. Anything you say or do on the internet STAYS on the internet

I mean is anything really perfectly safe online? There are always seems to be work arounds on apps and people waiting to exploit them.

This depends on your definition of safety. I presume you mean with regards to privacy of your messages...as I understand it they cannot be read by anyone but yourself or the ricipient, unless you are in a group chat in which case they are not encrypted! Unless they changed that recently but I don't think so.

I also assume that they have some way of gaining access via an encryption key/back door in cases tof "national security". Being in the US the servers/data can be subpoenaed.

Well Whatapp is form: Facebook (USA). Telgram is from: Nikolaj and Pavel Doerov (Russia)

no one can read you messages one possible way someone download in your phone a program and get your messages maybe
