+1 to the question As a related issue, at a recent event I raised whether Whatsapp or textsecure could be a suitable replacement for SMS in interaction with clients in mobile health programs. It seems like it could be a more privacy-protecting technology to transmit sensitive health records than SMS, if open whisper encryption really is implemented. However, those in the field said that without a public API, whatsapp is not currently a suitable SMS alternative.
Does anyone have more info on why/whether this assertion is true? Does textsecure have this problem solved?
