This is not true for Signal, the conversations are safe as they are stored on device only, not in iCloud.

Signal on iOS blocks even local backups, FYI.

So if you use their cloud services, both Apple and Google have access to your photos, but Apple has access to all of your whatsapp and signal conversations, while Google does not (if you decide to password protect your backups).
And you have to use iCloud if you want to keep your 3rd party chat history safe, unless you jailbreak to extract it from the file system.
iMessage is of course purposefully flawed to allow for MITM.
