I agree 100% with you. Whatscrapp is just a proprietary user subjugating version of XMPP. I prefer to communicate using xmpp protocol because it's federated like fediverse. You can use conversation for android

As a matter of fact, WhatsApp has been using the signal protocol since 2016.

Signal is encryption protocol, for messaging WhatsApp uses locked down XMPP.

So they only ended up implementing encryption-related parts of the protocol+server combo, like e.g Double-Ratchet or X3DH?
