    As much as I hate WhatsApp - and I really, vehemently do - I’m pretty sure it is E2EE.

    it’s encrypted, but it’s facebook’s own encryption. They can decrypt it whenever they want. And facebook owned services are constantly getting hacked.

      As I said, if you have any evidence to suggest that Facebook can decrypt it, I’d love to see it. It’s common knowledge that they use the Signal protocol, which to my interpretation means the encryption keys are generated and stored by the users’ devices, not accessible to FB.
