iMessage really could have been something great (despite apple controlling CA) if they had just opened it up for more devices. Instead WhatsApp wiped the floor with them.

- olliej 7y agoWhat? No Apple cannot decrypt messages so cannot check the content. Messages are not encrypted to Apples keys they’re only encrypted to recipient device keys - there is no way for Apple to filter any content without removing the end to end encryption of iMessage, which Apple does not want to do - every bit of user content that Apple can decrypt increases the value in compromising Apple’s service infrastructure.
