    it can. I’m not saying it does, but it absolutely can

    WhatsApp? It can by piggybacking the content on the client itself. It can’t read on the server if it’s as advertised as following the Signal Protocol.

    But that kind of functionality either need targeted deployment, or have that built-in to the client in public channel. It doesn’t matter if they does it or if they can do it, the logic of that functionality still have to exist somewhere. I would believe some nerds would pickup some indicators and had that reversed engineered long ago.

    Without a solid proof, I would on the err side and refrain from claiming such.
