Lol.

That practically applies to every form of digital communication. Sender/recipient has it on their end unencrypted and passes/leaks it on elsewhere
Does this also happen?
Fucking woof...
Please elucidate.
Just indicating that the steps taken that you mentioned are far beyond what most people would imagine as expected behavior for encrypted messaging software. Assuming your quote was published somewhere, as being about WhatsApp. I might've misunderstood.
It's from the article I posted in my comment above. The same article I the comment above me cherry picked their comment from.
It was just a variant of "woah!", in response to what you posted. I apologize if it came off as something different.
No problem. Your other comments seemed thoughtful and educated so it didn't seem hostile once I looked.
Otherwise I'd have been a little more..unfriendly.
