      If you’re using encryption you probably don’t have much to worry about. The main problem is so many people don’t bother to encrypt their chats and make the assumption that their chats are encrypted. Yes, I think the default should be encryption turned on. But I also think this is user error, so.

        Aren’t group chats unencrypted by design, with no option to encrypt? (I don’t know, I don’t use the app. Just something I vaguely recall somebody saying.)

          No. You have to enable encryption individually. And it only works if everyone in the conversation has enabled encryption. But it is available.
