I was listening to a podcast and there was an ad for WhatsApp with the whole premise that if you don’t use end to end encryption for your text messages, that those texts are as easy to view as it is listening to a podcast, which made me think: is that really true? Because I wouldn’t even know where to start to see someone else’s texts, nor would I be interested and I’m sure the average everyday person wouldn’t need to worry about it right?
Am I missing something? Is there a way that anyone can input my number and suddenly have access to all my texts?

Just because you don’t have the skills to intercept someone’s messages that doesn’t mean no one does. The government, security services or police for example would maybe want access and they would certainly have ways of obtaining them if they weren’t encrypted.
