I remember reading an article where the government and Google were able to read notifications and record them from every android device. I wonder if Graphene might have patched this problem, and if not, do they have any plans to do so?

Thanks!

Lol, FCM sends the CONTENT of messages through Google?? Wtf why do we even have "E2EE" Whatsapp then?

[–] d3Xt3r@lemmy.nz 1 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Firebase is a platform/service provided by Google, so it makes sense that the content goes thru Google's servers.

Also, E2EE in a closed-source app like WhatsApp, run by a nefarious corporation like Meta, was always a joke concept, a marketing ploy at best. People who are truly concerned about their privacy would never touch WhatsApp.

I've never worked directly with FCM, but that's my understanding of the issue. I don't know about WhatsApp. But it may do the same thing as Signal where the notification is just a wake up call and then the app connects directly to the WhatsApp servers to get the actual message.
