"WhatsApp's end-to-end encryption is used when you chat with another person using WhatsApp Messenger. End-to-end encryption ensures only you and the person you're communicating with can read or listen to what is sent, and nobody in between, not even WhatsApp"
This has always been disingenious.
WhatsApp control the client, the client displays the unencrypted message, ergo WhatsApp can read the message.
It provably does when it interprets links and does a web page preview card.
Also... that is highly likely leaking your advert profile as even if the preview didn't then any visit to the website is outside of WhatsApp and is now tied to your IP, browser cookies, etc.
All of the above can be true without end-to-end encryption being broken or otherwise defeated on the server side.
