By default, iMessage switches gears also when connectivity is low. This is also an issue for interactions between Apple users, though. This type of message is reliable, as it doesn’t require your device to have lots of bars to work, but it’s neither secure nor private-SMS messages can be traced, intercepted, and stored by your service provider, who can gladly hand them over to authorities, if asked politely. Now, the catch is that iMessage only works with this security standard when you’re chatting with other Apple users-if one of your friends uses an Android device, the high-standard privacy pretty much goes out the window.īecause iMessage doesn’t play nice with other messaging apps, it immediately switches to the not-so-good-ol’ SMS message whenever it cannot use Apple’s protocol, turning chat bubbles from blue to green. If you’re an Apple user, you’re in luck, as you have access to the company’s built-in E2E encrypted messaging platform. Viber is free for iOS, iPadOS, Android, Mac, Windows, and Linux.
