In general? No. Listen to @k00b and switch to signal.
Regarding this particular issue, I tried whatsapp on an avm the day the method was exposed but didn't find it to have these listening ports. However, they removed the feature within 24h after exposure so I may have been too late.

Correct. This has been known for years. Here's a reddit post from 5 years ago.

Its interesting that I've been hearing radio commercials for Whatsapp lately. Anyone that trusts Meta is a fool. I'm not saying anyone that uses anything they own is a fool but you better know what you are dealing with.

I'm so happy I've been off these platforms for almost a decade, though I still much depend on WhatsApp... Signal is definitely the way.
Thank you!
