As far as I know, WhatsApp is different and that's why you have to back up your messages when you move to a new device. Messages are primarily stored on the device and not on the cloud.

"Use it accordingly" is a good way to look at it, but requiring a higher level of protection and security is not a bad idea at all, in my opinion.

Apologies about WhatsApp, I don't use it that much and the information I have might be stale.

I would prefer being given the encryption keys of my content any time it is stored online. But since this is not a reality, not trusting these platform with sensitive data is best for the moment. If you just need to talk while playing they are fine.
