Probably also whatsapp chat, imessage, and other proprietary encrypted messaging apps out there.
Many chat apps actually use the Signal protocol for end to end encryption. This includes WhatsApp, Google Messages (RCS), Facebook Messenger, and Skype. iMessage doesn't seem to use it.

Why is end to end encryption a red flag???

oh, red flag for facebook, that makes sense.
but then if you care about privacy why touch anything Facebook has made at all?

But we also can't check their process since they are closed source. Also, if they can decrypt in the browser or proprietary app, then they can still read your messages. Browser is vulnerable to other attacks.
