I want to know if it’s reasonable to expect a degree of privacy with stock android.

    Not so sure about the signal messages if they’re stored properly encrypted by the app. But yeah, technically they could probably take screenshots. You could do a MiTM with a https proxy and look at wireshark to see what it sends.

      Surely a professional must have looked into this by now?

      Also I don’t see how Google wouldn’t be able to read Signal messages if they have full unstoppable access to everything? If the user can read it, surely Google can too?

        Signal uses E2E encryption. Unless, google can capture the screen displaying the message. It cannot read encrypted signal messages.
