WhatsApp is centralised, WA uses phone numbers, WA is a data collector. Signal is a natural progression, centralised, phone numbers, but no data collection. So Signal should be very familiar, Signal is also ZTA zero trust architecture, that is Signal clients don't trust its servers architecture. Hence, Signal top notch gold standard encryption used by billions (WA, fbM, gMeetup, Simplex, RCS, plus a few more). Plus, Signal code has a bomb to bomb cellbrite agent if its used to extract data from Signal clients.
Signal was never nearly backdoored (disinformation / FUD).
