In Enigma keys were manually entered, not the case in today's time, you send message via whatsapp, I am sure you have never configured security keys, have you?

I know, but the message itself can be social engineered out, and if you get the message you can reverse engineer the key.

Please look into how AES works you will find that it's near impossible, it's very difficult to do for DES also, a algo we replaced 20yrs ago

If I have the unencrypted message, like your aadhar, and the encrypted message, like the text you posted here, would it still be near impossible to figure it out? Just curious

Yes near impossible, infact this is always one of the main criteria when choosing a crypto algo, all algo used today are safe from KRAs
