I've had basically the same conversation with my sister who lives in Albania. I just want to use something encrypted like signal but she just refuses and says it's either WhatsApp or Facebook messenger. Cause of that I barely talk to her.

WhatsApp is e2e encrypted. It uses the same tech as Signal.

*allegedly

No one knows for sure, since WhatsApp is proprietary

So are Signal's serverside components.

Uh, no? I don't know who told you this lie, but https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Server

Btw it wouldn't even matter, since the encryption happens in the client app. The server basically just passes around encrypted pieces of data between devices.
