WhatsApp pushes users to backup keys to Google Drive, so even if you haven't done that your conversation partner might have. So unless you call Google holding the private keys 'E2E encryption', then it isn't. Signal had a bug where it sent private photos to random contacts, so it seems like that can't possibly be called safe either, if they're making junior level UI state mistakes like that (it's also not E2E encryption if the app switches one of the ends without your consent).
