But if your phone OS / cellular firmware is compromised then e2e or even at-rest encryption won't matter. Anything you can see on your phone can be seen.
I think a more rational alternative is to consider that everything except your unexpressed thoughts and emotions is already logged. At some point, this will become true (if it ain't already), so....then you at least will be ahead of that curve.
So if everything you do is monitored, how do you achieve privacy in such a world? That is the question, I think.
In fact, it's similar to how a corporation or nation needs to think about protecting their own secrets. They have to assume compromise (of people, systems, etc)...how do you confuse and compartmentalize what you want to protect?
