The USA and UK are both Five Eyes members and routinely share intelligence. If the USA had compromised secure apps, wouldn't the UK be privy to intelligence gathered via that method?
they want to preserve their sources, so they only reveal information that is possible for other countries to obtain with their lesser capabilities. Five eyes only existed because some laws prevented countries from spying on their own citizens, but times are changing and those laws have been or likely will be neutered.
