Pretty sure Signal currently can't look at my photos that I send to friends. So that part is wrong. AFAIK WhatsApp is also encrypted. But I don't know if they can see the photos server side.
- WA 2y agoIf you give an app access to your photos, it can do whatever it wants with them. Even if the normal operation is end-to-end encrypted, the app could still upload straight from your photo library to servers. I'm not saying this is happening. In Meta's case, I simply assume that they at least collect meta information on your photos, such as GPS coordinates to build a better ad profile of you. I might be wrong, but maybe not. That's why I don't give WhatsApp access to my photo library.
