As much as I hate WhatsApp - and I really, vehemently do - I’m pretty sure it is E2EE. Facebook/Meta doesn’t directly have access to the contents of your messages or shared media. If you have any evidence to suggest otherwise I’d love to see it.
Problem is, I don’t know if it’s still set up like this but it used to be that received photos were saved to your device gallery, and perhaps even backed up to the cloud with your camera photos, depending on your setup and device. So the photos might leak through there, but they don’t leak through Meta.
As I said, if you have any evidence to suggest that Facebook can decrypt it, I’d love to see it. It’s common knowledge that they use the Signal protocol, which to my interpretation means the encryption keys are generated and stored by the users’ devices, not accessible to FB.
I have to use whatsapp for work (I can’t believe it either) and yes, every photo sent to my work’s group chat is auto backed up to my phone’s local storage.
if you don’t want your nudes to leak, use end-to-end encrypted messaging apps and file storage to send those.
Proton Drive is great, signal messenger, session messenger, but not whatsapp, whatsapp is owned by facebook, not secure, not private.
imessage is quantum encrypted now, BUT! it’s owned by apple and they can still see the content of every message you send.
I think the main point of failure of sharing nudes is the human on the receiving end:
That’s not gonna prevent the person you sent them to to leak them. Just saying.
Just post them publicly and take away your detractors power.
And that, kids, is how OnlyFans was invented.
Mine are for free, but they are infrequent.

Whatsapp uses the singal encryption protocols which is E2EE. As far as if Meta is still scraping info from the app side… can’t say.
it’s encrypted, but it’s facebook’s own encryption. They can decrypt it whenever they want. And facebook owned services are constantly getting hacked.
As for pictures being saved by other things on your device, get rid of those other things and replace them with proton drive
