      True end to end is where you and your partner have keys and you both encrypt on the client side, and don’t tell the middle man. That way no malicious intent from the server could ever decrypt the actual message.

      That’s how the Signal protocol they’re using is working

              You seem confused. E2EE doesn’t mean peer-to-peer. Signal protocol isn’t peer-to-peer. You don’t need to be peer-to-peer to have secure communication because E2EE makes it so that the server can’t read what the two ends are writing.

                  We know they certainly implemented it at one point. So it’s not a big ask to do that for Messenger. And like someone said, would probably benefit them too since don’t have to give info they don’t have. But with it being closed source, it can’t be verified if they’re using it now.
