       If something says "End to End End Encrypted", assume it is a total lie until proven otherwise.For it to be useful E2EE:- All parties must verify each others keys out of band- All parties must be using software provably compiled from public source code- All parties must not be able to be remotely spied on or controlled by third parties If you don't know what any of that means, then your government can probably buy/bribe access to all of your chat logs at any time.

       Apple and Google and many chip vendors with proprietary drivers can execute any code of their choosing (or the choosing of a court) on any stock device, and even most devices with aftermarket modifications. Still gotta trust the magic binary blob drivers with kernel access in most cases so all bets are off.The best option for a small targeted group is to deploy their own end to end encrypted chat server, with all parties running a hardened Linux or *BSD OS used exclusively for that chat.
