However, Whatsapp being owned by Meta is concerning, especially since they admit they can still access any reported messages, which leads me to believe they probably have other backdoors as well.
As for Telegram, that one's hotly debated but the issue comes from the fact that it's not encrypted by default, and they run their own encryption standard rather than one that is tried and true like the Signal Protocol (which even Whatsapp uses, funny enough).
