I mean trust specifically in the context of the technology. Things need to be independently verifiable. And thanks for correction regarding the clients, I was under the impression that you could only use the official app with their server. If you can use an open source client that addresses my concern regarding verification.

At the very least we can know that the protocol works as advertised. Since it's E2E, I think it's probably reasonable to assume that at least the messages themselves are secure.
