Whatsapp message content can be pulled via a subpoena along with a lot of other private data. Signal's can not.

FBI doc on what messaging apps can provide via subpoena pulled by a FOIA request...

That link says for WhatsApp:

> Message Content: Limited*

> * If target is using an iPhone and iCloud backups enabled, iCloud returns may include WhatsApp data, to include message content

> Whatsapp message content can be pulled via a subpoena along with a lot of other private data. Signal's can not.

Your own link does not say that. At all. It directly disputes that.
