What software do you use to get that overlay on the top left?

I’ve got a big zip bag with manuals, and for screws and such I write a post-it note with a description/appliance name and I just tape it to the parts (tape it all together if there’s multiple

You should contact their support, they’re responsive

They might publish components of it enough to verify that the processing code is not emitting any data but as others said - it could’ve been done locally on the phone

From what I gather the texts are encrypted and sent to their LLMs that process it with some mechanism to verify the code being run in the cloud to process the texts is one that the WhatsApp app agreed to.

But they could just as well start siphoning the data after changing that code. Everyone will be able to see the cloud code changed if/when tbat happens but I don’t think there’s a way to differentiate that from a regular update.

Might give you some ideas on how to do that

Unfortunately “better” varies from person to person. Signal is behind on features, e.g. WhatsApp has integration for businesses (customer support).

I hope my monthly donation will help but we must realize for some some features are important, I guess that for most it’s how many ppl they know is there/unwilling to lead a migration

Didn’t work for me :( but maybe it was too close @remindme 2025-06-15

Say all the countries have privacy invasive rules. How can companies like Proton provide services? Build a server farm on the moon?
