    All messages and metadata are e2e encrypted

    Not all metadata can be e2e encrypted:

    • how would the company know where to send the message? The destination username and/or IP must be unencrypted.
    • the timestamp is a very useful metadata that cannot be encrypted (wiretappers just note the time the message passed).
