You can use another messaging app that supports encryption. Some of us don’t want your laziness resulting in local scanners on devices that we have paid for.

Then don’t enable iCloud backup. If you do enable iCloud backup you’ll have your images scanned in both cases.

There’s functionally no difference, except one offers a future path to encryption on iCloud servers.

If this was about on device scanning without iCloud backup enabled then I’d agree with you, but it’s not.

Congrats, you “won” on an issue that wasn’t an issue and missed the actual problem.

Since the 90s, there has always been a mainstream private option. Be it Nextel, BlackBerry PIN, prepaid phones, iMessage, FaceTime, etc. Now that’s gone, and fringe stuff like Signal isn’t a replacement.
