The NSA can crack almost anything, especially with help from the Mosad Pegasus technology. The US govt has weaseled it's way into these companies producing the end to end encrypted apps.
For example, we recently discovered FBI agents working at Facebook and Twitter. Facebook bought WhatsApp so the FBI working there got its hands on the decryption keys for WhatsApp messages. So they started reading everyone's messages. For example, Chase employees were using it to coordinate efforts to get around regulations. Once the messages were read the SEC stepped in and fined Chase. The SEC had no case without facebooks help decrypting the supposed private messages.
