The title pretty much says it all. According to the report:

the service will encrypt all messages, phone calls, photos, and videos moving among [the devices].

Moxie Marlinspike is involved, so they have a chance of getting it right, and no one, even WhatsApp, will be able to know what you”re saying, texting, viewing, &c.
