That's a cute loophole you thought up, but whatsapp's marketing is pretty unequivocal that they can't read your messages.

>With end-to-end encryption on WhatsApp, your personal messages and calls are secured with a lock. Only you and the person you're talking to can read or listen to them, and no one else, not even WhatsApp

That's not to say it's impossible that they are secretly uploading your messages, but the implication that they could be secretly doing so while not running afoul of their own claims because of cute word games, is outright false.
