TL/DR:
WhatsApp
Yes, the content of your conversations is fully encrypted
Meta (aka Facebook) still has access to the metadata: who you chat with, how long you chat, your phone's battery level, stuff like that
You could use Signal to have even better privacy, but your contacts might not use Signal
Apple
Focusing on health information specifically (their recent marketing campaign), it's true that Apple end-to-end encrypts your health data
However, other apps may not
Third party apps can request (from you) access to your health data
Be skeptical of them
