Signal is great but iMessage?
- Fnoord 9y agoiMessage is more popular. You want people to use Signal, but if they don't want or cannot use that, iMessage is his preferred alternative. For a similar reason, I use Signal and WhatsApp. (All 3 are E2EE.) Nicholas Weaver covered iMessage's strengths and weaknesses before: (20150804) iPhones, the FBI, and Going Dark [1] (20150806) Nicholas Weaver on iPhone Security [2] (20150908) Apple's iMessage defense against spying has one flaw [3] (20171211) Is Apple Fully Complying With iMessage and FaceTime-Related Court Orders? [4] I also remember a technical analysis on iMessage by either Matthew Green or Nicholas Weaver.

- ricardobeat 9y agoiMessage is end-to-end encrypted, and a good bet that the app publisher is safe. Apple has a strong record of strict security and anti-government-snooping policy.
