So, does this mean that users of the Android TextSecure app (and perhaps even Signal for iOS) will be able to communicate with WhatsApp users?


Unlikely. Yet they will share the same level of secrecy and encryption for their communications now.


>> "...same level of secrecy..."

Well, no. As pointed out elsewhere in this thread, if Whisper Systems doesn't own the whole app, then the Whatsapp code might include code (that they "forget" to show Moxie) that phones home to the Zuckerberg mansion/windowless black buildings in Virgina.
