Although end-to-end encryption can secure messages on their journey between two devices, and prevents snooping by anyone intercepting your communications, it doesn't prevent anyone who has access to the device itself from reading your messages.

I was having similar thoughts today about showerheads.
The funny thing about shopping algorithms is once you buy a single purchase type of item, it assumes, “Oh, you like [thing]!?” and blasts you with an overwhelming amount of similar listings.
Contrary to popular belief, me buying *one* white board doesn’t mean I want a room full of them.
