Was it not solved in FaceTime group chats? I can’t see the Apple Security Guide right now, but I know they claim that FaceTime 1-to-1 is e2e, and with their whole marketing thing being privacy, I bet they did it for group conversations too (not that it’s Enterprise ready since there’s no user management or SSO or whatever).
I’ve noticed over the years that FaceTime is much more likely than other video chat software to drop the video connection and move to audio only in case the connection is unstable whereas most others will hitch and lag for 30 seconds before looking into it, so maybe they got around it by only shipping the video in one or two resolutions?
- _-___________-_ 7y agoYeah, there seem to be multiple statements by Apple saying they can't access the content of FaceTime calls, without any qualification that it only applies to one-to-one calls. So it's probably a reasonable assumption that even the group ones are e2e encrypted. How many participants can you have in a FaceTime group call? I have also noticed that FaceTime drops the video much more often that other software.
