Whatsapp has been fully e2e for years, maybe since 2016? It uses the Signal protocol.

Is there any evidence for this? Like any independent audits like Signal and Telegram have for their protocols?

It was done by Signal themselves: https://signal.org/blog/whatsapp-complete/

The client is closed so it can't be independently verified outside of sniffing traffic or decompilation I assume.
