Facebook, Google, and WhatsApp plan to increase encryption of user data

Apple has phones that are secure and the FBI can not tap into them. The FBI has taken Apple to court to try and get them to give them the codes. Other apps such as Facebook, snapchat, Google, and WhatsApp are signing a legal document to say that they are with Apple on encrypting the texts, calls, and voicemail so FBI can't hack into them.
I think it is a bad idea because for all we know someone could be using one of those apps and could be planning on killing someone, or maybe even going after someone really important like the president. I think the FBI should get these codes just so they can keep an eye on people or just look through people's phones when they are suspects of a crime.
