I didn’t read the article, but Apple does advertise a certain level of privacy and security with iMessage. A company getting around that kind of defeats apples “promise”.
So, I don’t blame them for turning it off, but they realistically should bring iMessage to android.
Not really. Just because they reverse engineered the protocol does not mean it is insecure.
I guess we know too little to say much about that topic.
Well if it’s all handled by Apple I can assume that there is a reasonable amount of security in the way the message is stored.
If a third party gets involved, then I don’t know if the message is read, copied, or stored insecurely by them.
I reall hope apples does not store or can even read the data. Otherwise it would be a really bad messaging protocol (privacy and security wise).
You know backdoors mandate this which is why everything is insecure. Most people have no clue that if the government has backdoors then it's always insecure.
