The UK has the most invasive programs on earth thru the GCHQ and they couldn't crack whatsapp. Make sure your IP doesn't leak and always work on your VPN, my VPN has double hop, so you are not going to one server but then tunneling to another somewhere else and speed is still super fast. Snowden even said, encryption works, PGP works. It's if they can get you before you use your software is the problem, that's what the vault 7 docs show. Or Theresa May wouldn't be having a shit fit about encryption if it didn't work. It just takes a lot of time and effort to keep private and most people don't want to bother with it. Get anonybox from amazon and your router will be the VPN point so you are never off it. Kill switch enabled. Hell I can even browse into China if I want with stealth or chameleon VPN. It's a losing game for the gov't to always play catch up. So they cheat and infect devices before they are shipped.
