    basically.

    even minimal metadata for example from signal contains

    Message dates and times

    Message senders and recipients (via phone number identifiers)

    From these 2 pieces of information, its possible to build social graphs: who talked to who, and when they did it. Also, who’s in a group chat with who else.
