    We should be glad that WhatsApp with E2EE is what people jumped to, instead of Facebook Messenger

    WhatsApp is part of Facebook. You really think they operate differently?

      Facebook/Meta takes the metadata of WhatsApp, which I addressed in comment. The difference wrt encryption and how the platform works is far different compared to Facebook, because it was acquired originally and is meant for different target audiences.
