Call me sceptic, but does not whatsapp see what you are typing when you are creating messages? They need to log the keydown event somehow, right?

And the predictive text spits out what it thinks you want to type.

And backups are possible even if you never had one before.

This is so very dodgy to me.

Maybe its e2e from the moment you submit until it arrives at the desired destination.

Which brings me to the next issue, they need to parse the text to display and when you quote a text, does it just blindly quote a blurb?

I do not believe in conspiracies and such, but there are so many double speech possibilities here...
