Ugh. This is why I was saying before that I'm quite worried that Whatsapp itself didn't come out and say publicly that it uses TextSecure's end-to-end protocol, and that we should stop praising them for "adopting end-to-end encryption" until they actually say they did (for which I got downvoted).

You're mistaken, they do store. And don't hide it.
Also they don't even encrypt, they send messages over the air in plain text. YAY $16 billion!
Hopefully that will change soon.

Didn't WhatsApp integrate TextSecure?
