(and the only reason I use WhatsApp is because of network effects - I only started using it last year; sparingly and begrudgingly)

Oh, Beeper effectively breaks the end to end encryption of WhatsApp and other encrypted chat applications. Back to the drawing board with that one. (thanks @piuvas for pointing that out)

https://www.beeper.com/faq#how-does-beeper-connect-to-encrypted-chat-networks-like-signal-whatsapp

How does Beeper connect to encrypted chat networks like Signal/WhatsApp?

When sending and receiving Signal, Facebook Messenger, Google Messages and WhatsApp messages, Beeper bridges acts as a relay. For example, if you send a message from Beeper to a friend on WhatsApp, the message is encrypted on your Beeper client, sent to the bridge, which decrypts and re-encrypts the message with WhatsApp's proprietary encryption protocol.

⚠️ Using native end-to-end encrypted chat apps independently may be more secure than connecting to them to Beeper ⚠️
