I wonder if this has anything to do with the What's App Privacy notice.
It's a patent from 2015, it has nothing to do with it. To detect dust traces in photos facebook would have to be able to access the unencrypted photo; if facebook has access to your unencrypted whatsapp data, lens dust is the last of your concerns
As you cannot know if they are able to decrypt it, I would hedge my bets and just assume they can.
