I'm more worried about a trigger-able mode of whatsapp that silently disables E2E encryption on a specific phone. The only way to figure this out is to catch the app in the act.

It seems possible that WhatsApp could be persuaded by the government to implement such technology.

Something that does concern me about WhatsApp is that backups of messages (by default, it seems, put on Google Drive on Android) are not encrypted. I'm not really sure why. There's not a compelling reason that I can think of.

Or already has and is under a gag order.
