In court papers filed in August and September 2025, the ex-staffers say Meta broke Apple’s privacy rules.
They also claim it ignored big security holes in WhatsApp and hid its own studies on child safety in VR.

Simultaneously, the company announced a new WhatsApp privacy system modeled on Apple’s own.
This suggests Meta sees the value of Apple’s privacy branding, even while competing with it.
