Very cool! I'm wondering if Signal is doing something similar? libsignal is implemented in Rust, but I don't know about the other parts.

> We believe that this is the largest rollout globally of any library written in Rust.

I suppose this is true because there's more phones using WhatsApp than there are say Windows 11 PCs.

Given that WhatsApp uses libsignal, is it safe to assume that they haven't been using the Rust library directly?
