MODERATORS
They don't have to attack the encryption, there are far easier ways. Compromising your phone then reading the notification contents for example. If a smallish company can do this (pegasus) imagine what the resources of the US intelligence complex can do.
The easiest way by far is to intimidate you to give up your phone password and hand over the messages.

Shouldn't the phone disk be encrypted too?
Doesn't matter if the phone is compromised while turned on.
