  • Interesting, but how? The only way I see is implement new standards, spread them and make them easy accessible. DoH, DoT and DoQ for example are some nice standards to encrypt DNS. But it isn’t easy for everybody to use them, easiest one I can think about is DoT on Android, but how many Android users use it?

    How about jmap? There is a new mail standard but near nobody supports it, and did they really miss to give this standard an encryption on it’s side by default?

    Hmm not exactly. WhatsApp is closed source, we don’t know exactly how it works, but since it is based on XMPP, chances are high it uses xmpps own push service. Either there would be a notification about missing GCM or firebase.

    Btw. Websockets on signal and telegram needs the apps running in background which eats up the battery. That’s why a lot of degoogled-users install unifiedpush via ntfy-app. Some third party alternatives support unifiedpush, signal = molly + unifiedpush and telegram = mercurygram or nagram.
