I don't know the details here, but you can disable iMessage and just send plain SMS, which in theory does not send the data to Apple. But then, part of the point of using iMessage is that the message contents are not sent to your carrier and have some encryption in place. I would guess your best bet is to find another phone manufacturer and use a different messaging service that provides better security if you want to opt out.
- memco 5y agoAccording to John Gruber this does work on SMS, but is a feature of the app, not the service: > It’s also worth pointing out that it’s a feature of the Messages app, not the iMessage service. For one thing, this means it applies to images sent or received via SMS, not just iMessage. But more importantly, it changes nothing about the end-to-end encryption inherent to the iMessage protocol. The image processing to detect sexually explicit images happens before (for sending) or after (for receiving) the endpoints. It seems like a good feature with few downsides.
