Re: WhatsApp or Signal protocol?

Why down votes for AC on a reasonable question? Signal users are indeed very interested given that WhatsApp uses the same end to end encryption protocol.

There is no need to worry that an attacker can manipulate encrypted data. This is always a possibility and is logically unpreventable (at least outside of quantum cryptography). The concerning thing is if they can do so with more than a decimal point of an astronomically small number percentage chance of detection by the receiver.
