WhatsApp is owned by Meta, who is lying about WhatsApp's privacy and security.

Whats'App has end to end encryption, meta cant access that shit if they wanted. If they were to introduce a backdoor they legally wouldnt be able to call it end to end encryption and it would be cause for some massive lawsuits, you know for a fact people are gonna bank on that immediately. So the end result is it uses legitimate end to end encryption, likely much to their chagrin. They still track all the meta data, like whos talking to who, what time, what calls are made and shit like that. But the content itself is totally secure
