Why's that? I understand the message would increase in size because of the encryption, but I think it would be technically feasible now. Didn't even apple just introduce encryption into their messenger? My issue with apple's encryption is it's closed source and apple only.
- heartbreak 10y agoiMessage end-to-end encryption is not a recent introduction. It has been in place for several years, though I can't find the exact iOS version it was introduced in.

The GP is right; cell service is so aggressively regulated that there's no hope of carriers adopting a better standard, so the best we can hope for is that at some point mobile OS distributors agree on some open standard like the Signal protocol.
