I don't want iMessage for Android – I just want everyone to use good messaging apps

iMessage for Android is only a cool idea because of the ridiculous attitude that's developed around the service, when other apps exist.

          Encrypted during transfer, yes, but still decrypted in the apps

            Of course. No app could ever display anything if the content isn’t decrypted by the app, duh.

        In the congress hearing zucky boy did, he was asked whether Facebook could read Messenger and WhatsApp messages

        his response was to more or less trip over himself avowing that Facebook couldn’t read WhatsApp messages—even when a follow up question specifically asked him about Messenger, he chose to ignore it and reaffirm that WhatsApp messages were private

        i don’t really see why he would’ve done that unless WhatsApp actually was encrypted, given that if he were lying about one it would be a lot easier to just lie about both

          Even FB Messenger: https://signal.org/blog/facebook-messenger/

          It was optional for ages and recently read about it becoming the default.
