Is Apple disabling the automatic iCloud sync for the supposed "end-to-end encrypted" iMessages yet?
If not, what is even the point of E2E encryption in iMessage if 99% of the iPhone users' conversations can be retrieved from their iCloud accounts?
And that's not even mentioning the fact that iMessage has a design flaw that allows Apple to include an invisible third-party into people's "end-to-end encrypted conversations." Apple has known about it for like 3 years, but I haven't seen them try to fix it.
- threeseed 7y agoMessages in the Cloud is and has always been disabled by default. So your 99% number is nonsense. And E2E encryption is to stop MITM attacks which are quite common if you are using untrusted networks e.g. open WiFi networks.

- giancarlostoro 7y agoCorrect. The point of End to End encryption is that nobody else knows the contents of messages under any circumstances other than those in the conversation (usually 2 people).
