Apple video effects in a WhatsApp video call (lemmy.one)

Today while I was on a video call with family using WhatsApp I noticed video effects when I used one of the signs. Then when I dug deeper to check i realised that it was a feature from iOS. If WhatsApp was end to end encrypted how are apple able to do this?

Link to the feature: https://support.apple.com/en-ca/guide/iphone/iphaa0b5671d/ios

Why is skytube not recommended as much as newipe? by darkshadow4680 in c/privacyguides@lemmy.one

https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe#description

NewPipe works by fetching the required data from the official API (e.g. PeerTube) of the service you're using. If the official API is restricted (e.g. YouTube) for our purposes, or is proprietary, the app parses the website or uses an internal API instead. This means that you don't need an account on any service to use NewPipe.

I see they are using peertube API. So do they web scrape?

From my understanding new pipe falls back to internal API or web scraping if the official API fails. Is skytube doing the same thing? Just checking what are the options available out there and see how are they different from each other.
