Why You Should Stop Sending Texts From Your Android Messages App
Updating Android Messages is, it seems, just too little, too late.
Google has opted for Signal’s protocol for its end-to-end encryption—as used by WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger’s secret chats and Signal, of course. There’s nothing wrong with the security when it’s in place, it just isn’t in place enough of the time and it doesn’t add anything Android users don’t already have from other alternatives.
WhatsApp happily taunted Telegram’s issues in public, rightly pointing out that the glib claims it makes about security and privacy are not supported by its technical deficiencies. WhatsApp was quieter on the Signal front, given that its smaller albeit fast-growing rival is the best secure messenger on the market today.
iMessage does all the above without compromising end-to-end encryption, as long as you disable the general iCloud backup on your phone.. But iMessage isn’t cross-platform, and that rules it out as your messaging go-to unless you’re on iOS and make a point of never communicating with anyone who isn’t.
