Metadata I imagine? e.g. who is person X communicating with, when are they active, etc.

Could be extremely useful if you discover someone unreachable abroad is coordinating with people within your jurisdiction.

I’d add account details (including profile pic), platforms being used, IP addresses, and linked accounts (including phone #) to that list. E2E protects your messages from interception, but literally everything else is fair game.
