    If you record the screen of somebody typing, it doesn’t matter if what they’re sending is E2EE.

      If any popular messaging apps were recording the screen, it would have been discovered by now. Plenty of people are reverse engineering popular apps all the time.

        That came out wrong. It’s just a way to say that E2EE doesn’t matter if you’re in an environment or app that has control over everything until the actual message is encrypted and sent. Closed source apps are to be trusted much less than opensource apps in this regard.
