wrt iMessage, yes, it’s E2EE and the keys are not stored in iCloud if you disable iMessage backup. Granted Apple still owns the keyset gets so, eh, depends on how paranoid you wanna get.
- Aperocky 7y agoAny time others have access to your keys the only logical assumption is that they already know. Relying on goodwill is just naive
- snazz 7y agoYep. WhatsApp is better and Signal is better still, but iMessage's level of privacy and security is more than enough for someone who isn't specifically targeted by a nation-state-level actor.
