It doesn't really matter if the app claims to use E2E when it actually discloses message content [0] [1]. WhatsApp is also filled with backdoors [2].

0 and 1 don't support your claim that WhatsApp discloses message content. those two links explicitly say WhatsApp doesn't give messages to the FBI.
Also[2] claims backdoors, which is impossible to prove. They could just be bugs that were exploited (and fixed).
