minus-square@asbestoslink6•1 year agoYeah but his point stands. Here’s the summary: If you’re syncing iMessages via iCloud but don’t use iCloud backup without Advanced Data Protection, it’s E2E If you have iCloud backup enabled without Advanced Data Protection enabled, iMessage isn’t E2E encrypted If you have Advanced Data Protection turned on for iCloud and you’re using iCloud backup, iMessage is E2E encrypted however you look at it. It’s generally good practice to not use iCloud backups but rather back it up yourself, however, most people don’t care enough.
