      End to end doesn’t necessarily mean that the middle can’t read it, it just means strangers listening can’t read it.

      I thought it meant nobody between the two ends can read it.

          True end to end is where you and your partner have keys and you both encrypt on the client side, and don’t tell the middle man. That way no malicious intent from the server could ever decrypt the actual message.

          That’s how the Signal protocol they’re using is working
