- ceejayoz 5y agoYou can turn it off individually just for Messages, but you're still left not knowing the state of the setting on the other end.

HN tends to get very frothy-at-the-mouth over Apple and privacy but the reality is that iPhones can be easily set up to offer security and privacy that best in class, they play well with self-hosted sync services like Nextcloud....and unlike the Android-based "privacy" distros you're not running an OS made by a bunch of random nameless people, you can use banking apps, etc. The only feature I miss is being able to control background data usage like Android does.
