Sunbird Messaging App Relaunches After Shutting Down Over Privacy Concerns
-
Sunbird, the messaging app that aimed to bring iMessage to Android, is relaunching in beta after shutting down due to privacy issues.
-
The original Sunbird app exposed user messages and files due to lack of encryption, allowing anyone to access them.
-
Sunbird has explained technical changes to fix security flaws, like encryption of messages and secured storage.
-
Sunbird calls out Beeper's iMessage support for "security and privacy concerns" from unauthorized Apple server access.

Trust issues remain as Sunbird claimed a Google director was an advisor, but he actually left months ago.
