I might be wrong, but I believe e2e in WhatsApp came after the Meta acquisition. There was some sort of encryption as far back as 2012, but I don't think it was end-to-end. Only iOS and Android had support for it, but not any of the other clients. The partnership with Whisper Systems and "true" e2e came in 2016 (~2 years after the acquisition).
