Oh that's not new and expected that they would read your data, like gmail scans your mails, cloud drives scan your non-encrypted files, etc. While I'm at it, let's spread the good word. I use Signal personally, it's really convenient enough that I can convince most people to use it and then they usually prefer it to other chat apps (you can customize colors, send docs securely, it's simple and easy, that's it!) I actually don't even mention the privacy usually (most people don't care, it's noise to them); the simple fact that it does SMS too and is much nicer than stock apps for this makes it convenient: it's not a new app, it's a better SMS replacement that also does chat a-la messenger/whatsapp/etc. But yes, it's also recommended by Snowden and most security experts if you care about your security and privacy. (just be careful with SMS, these remain unsecure as ever)
