    Yes, although to nowhere near the same extent as Facebook and Instagram.

    The chats are E2EE using Signal’s encryption protocol, so very good.

    But they will certainly mine everything else they can get. They may not know what you’re saying, but they do know who you’re talking to, when you’re doing it, your contacts, your profile pic, how often you send images, etc. any web links with tracking info embedded in the URL will likely be tracked too, once you open them.

      This still baffles me. What’s Facebook’s end game here? They are built on data collection and spying, but they own an app that is E2EE.
