How's that end-to-end encryption working out?

Doesn't matter if the company doing the e2e can get your messages.

but fb messenger is not e2e encrypted at all. If the company is doing e2e then they can't read your messages

This is true, FB messenger is as open as it will get with seeing your messages, WhatsApp is dubious too so either Signal or Session are best e2e messenger apps imo.

I have never heard of them, are they social media apps?

The two apps I've mentioned are exclusively messenger apps. Think of Facebooks messenger but more secure with no big company servers looking at your chat and messages.
