        Not necessarily. If you trust the code running on your device then there is no backdoor they could install on a server that would break e2ee. They would have to backdoor the client where the keys are.

        True, unless it’s open source and maybe self hosted.

        Edit: Nevermind, I’m right, I have no confidence in my own intelligence lol. If the key is on the phone and the phone stores the encrypted data to the server, that’ll be secure
