they are not end-to-end encrypted but they are encrypted. Also, I read that WhatsApp is going to switch to the same mode, for user convenience: https://bgr.com/2019/07/29/whatsapp-update-to-bring-multi-pl...

Dealing with the endpoint security is a really tough problem but I have a pet-project that pushes the price per endpoint just below $500 https://github.com/maqp/tfc
