Yep you are right. They even tout this in their Security Page.

> WhatsApp's end-to-end encryption ensures only you and the person you're communicating with can read what is sent, and nobody in between, not even WhatsApp. This is because your messages are secured with a lock, and only the recipient and you have the special key needed to unlock and read them.

- cuckcuckspruce 9y agoI suppose that I'm not surprised. You can't audit WhatsApp's source code, and even if you could, you can't guarantee what you're putting on your device matches the source code. Yet another closed source, inherently untrustable system.
- DougN7 9y agoEven with open source you don't know what you're putting on your device matches the source code (unless you're part of the 0.00001% that would compile their own mobile apps).
