iMessage in iCloud is end-to-end. Probably you are confusing it with the iCloud Backup, which is not. iCloud Backup contains the Messages in iCloud keys anyway, so if you want the best security it's better to not use iCloud Backup.

- 8fingerlouie 6y agoSeems i was wrong, though backup is encrypted. The "issue" is that the encrypted backup contains a copy of your key used to decrypt the (encrypted) messages within the backup. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202303 https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202303
- galad87 6y agoYes, but you can use Messages in iCloud and keep iCloud Backup off.
