iPhone users have a serious new problem—here’s what you need to know.
. The headlines are still coming thick and fast, pushing advice on a user base now equal parts concerned and confused.warned that while Google “shows a lack of respect for users inside its ecosystem,” but when it comes to the FBI’s new text warnings “Apple did the bare minimum because it doesn't care about you either.”: Salt Typhoon , a hacking group linked to China’s Ministry of State Security, has infiltrated U.S.
Apple’s messaging platform is not well understood. It is a front-end for iMessage—its end-to-end encrypted protocol, but also the only SMS client available on iPhone. This was one of the criticisms in this year’s DOJ report into Apple’s walled garden. As of iOS 18, the Messages app also offers RCS messaging as well, meaning it now works with three different standards—iMessage, RCS and SMS.
The Messages app will use the most secure connection it can find—iMessage then RCS then SMS. While RCS is not fully secured, it is better than SMS. But to be frank, anything is better than SMS. But if one of the parties to a chat does not have a data connection or RCS/iMessage enabled, then the platform will automatically revert to SMS unless you disable “Send as Text Message” in settings.
