Apple Faces Privacy Critiques Over iMessage Encryption Gaps With Android Users

Serious privacy and security flaws exist in iMessage's lack of encryption when messaging Android users. This undermines Apple's privacy claims.

Apple has prioritized commercial interests over user privacy by not expanding encryption outside its walled garden.

The alternative to encrypted iMessage is insecure SMS technology, further compromising user privacy.

Apple could enable cross-platform encryption, as shown by apps like WhatsApp, but refuses to do so.

The DOJ antitrust lawsuit against Apple calls out iMessage's privacy flaws from a security standpoint as anti-competitive behavior.
