You say that as if WhatsApp is actually secure, as if Facebook haven't filled it with backdoors. As if it wasn't the vector for zero click access to Android phones in Pegasus. SMS could not do that (although iMessages did).

Holy shit, if you're being targeted by nation states or other seriously motivated actors with Pegasus level spyware then they will get you. For everyone else, encrypted platforms like Signal or, yes, WhatsApp, are more secure than fucking SMS.
