MODERATORS
I haven't seen their refusal but I imagine it's for the same reason they ditched SMS.
They don't want their users confused about what is and is not a secure message.
Weird because iMessage users have literally zero issue working out who is using SMS.
Really? Did you interview all 1 billion Apple users?
Chats to Whatsapp would still be E2EE.
They would also collect all of the metadata that would make you NOT want to use WhatsApp in the first place.
