Apple has fooled you. iMessage is not end-to-end encrypted as advertised. If you use iCloud backups then all your messages can be read by Apple and by extension law enforcement. If you decide not to use the only allowed cloud backup option for iPhones, then your messages can still be read by Apple on the other end when your friends have iCloud backups enabled. Apple has not end-to-end encrypted iCloud backups of iMessage at the explicit request of the FBI. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-apple-fbi-icloud-exclusiv...

Isn't the friends phone one of the ends?
It sounds to me like it is E2EE, but people can opt in to back up the message after decryption. How is this different to any other E2EE program?

Most of us on HN aren't stupid enough to put critical, life changing data through icloud server platform, but for day to day messagng imessage is fine. Most of my techie friend circle use signal anyway.
