Nothing's iMessage solution might not be as secure as we thought
Uh yeah... It isn't. Like at all.
So exactly as secure as we thought, then.
No, it's even less secure than expected. We expected that Sunbird would have access to your Apple ID and messages. Instead, everyone in the world has access to your Apple ID and messages.
Definitely like Nothing we were hoping for.

Yeah, but I got absolutely roasted in YouTube comments for pointing out some potential shortcomings in the architecture. I’m not about to claim a high level of authority on the topic, though I’m an old man who has been in the game for a while, but the people that were totally confident really just seemed very eager to accept the passing of their credentials in a very sketchy way to get a slightly different messaging experience.
Just use signal folks.
my guy, there are much more pleasant ways of getting cancer than visiting Youtube's comment section
Right? I feel like people here are on even more crazy pills + copium than I am lol.
Edit: Take me to ur dealer(s) 👾
Stop using iMessage, it sucks and its literally crazy unstable
What? It’s not crazy unstable, I’ve never had an issue with it.
If everyone you text with are on iPhone anyway, there’s no logical reason to switch iMessage off and use SMS.
Never personally had any issues with iMessage (not sure which parts you think “suck” and are “unstable”).
80% of my contacts use iMessage, the rest use Signal.
Yeah no shit, it's a badly put together hack. They should not be advertising this embarrassing mess.
That's saying something as I don't think anyone thought it was particularly secure
I don’t get the buzz around this. It’s a really ugly hack, it’s costing someone money to run those mac servers, and the longevity of the service is questionable.
If only there was a law forcing messaging services to open an API for free choice of 3rd party apps...
Why does iMessage need a solution? Solutions indicate problems. The only problem I can see is elitist kids and people whining about bubble colors.
The problem is breaking up the network effect from messaging apps.
Noone is uninstalling WhatsApp since there's always that one guy you need to keep in contact with that refuses to change.
Having aggregators like this is helping break up this
iMessage itself really isn't as secure as some think.

Your security is actually worse than a pinky promise in that case because you also have to consider that they could be hacked.
Beeper is pretty good with it, as they make it clear that it's insecure and use an encrypted protocol to get the messages to the server. Still, it's better to host your own (which Beeper lets you do, as it's just Matrix) or not use it.
How so?
Due to complexity and limited auditing a number of vulnerabilites have slipped through again & again, like zero-click exploits for example. Take a look at the sear volume of CVEs and more importantly what they entail. While they do eventually get found & patched, its not ideal compared to other messaging apps like signal that are very much security first, features 2nd.
A lot of people(normies), especially Apple users tend to think it's super secure virtually impenetrable technology.
