Even if you’re using a privacy-focused app like Signal, if your messages are shown in notifications (which is the default), Apple will give up your messages with a subpoena. You can turn off showing the message contents in notifications, which you’ll need to do and then convince all your friends to do as well if you want messages to be truly private

Is this true? I.e. Apple can ship notification contents after an app has made the actual notifications with contents? Can’t read the linked article behind the paywall

What have you heard re Samsung?

Less transparent my ass. The first time you use any apple app it gives you a summary of the privacy implications, what data is collected, etc. that’s the exact opposite of your statement.

Google instead links you to their monolithic TOS / privacy policy which covers all their products and is super opaque.

Which oem and why?

One of the signal Devs has said they’ve already tested restoring cross platform with this new format

This new backup format is incremental and they will bring this new format to local backups in the future

Their privacy policy is good

That’s already released and only deals with recent changes. It doesn’t fix apps using strong integrity challenges

I mean that sort of thing is already a thing. For some cancers will will insert radioactive beads e.g. lover cancer (HCC)

And how do you interpret what I wrote?

You misread my comment. Try again

Are they doing the same for iPhone?

They don’t like platforms where they can’t censor dissent. Thats the reason they dont like Reddit.

On pixel 9 (and maybe earlier) grapheneos devices, you can just disable the USB c port which is more secure than apple’s pairlocking. Combine that with a self destruct pin/password, your data is bulletproof.

A country the USA doesn’t like

What does that even mean?

Re: whatsapp, I’m pretty sure the android and iphone app use the same backup format. You can manually extract them by doing an unencrypted iPhone backup to your PC and extract the data from that. When I tested an iPhone a few years ago, I was able to move my whatsapp data after the initial setup with that. I’m pretty sure there are commercial tools that do the same thing too.
