This is the reasoning given in the FAQ:

"Did you know: WhatsApp isn’t social media, and employs data encryption so your messages can’t be read by anyone, even Meta. That’s why it can live on our phone."

Personally, I would have preferred Signal.

That said, WhatsApp has over 3 billion monthly users. Signal has roughly 70 million. That's a network about 40× larger.

For many people around the world, WhatsApp is how they stay in touch with friends, family, and business contacts—both locally and abroad.

The criticism of WhatsApp has never really been that Meta can read your encrypted messages.

It uses the Signal Protocol.

The bigger concerns have always been Meta's metadata collection, the company's broader privacy practices, and historically, cloud backups before end-to-end encrypted backups were introduced.

If you're building the most private phone possible, Signal or SimpleX are the obvious choices.

If you're building a digital minimalist phone that still offers end-to-end encrypted messaging with the messaging platform most of the world already uses, I can understand why WhatsApp made the cut.

Besides, it's easily uninstalled with a couple of clicks if you'd rather use Signal or SimpleX. Aside from social media apps and browsers, you can sideload most other Android APKs.
