Hey folks, unless you’re using an end-to-end encrypted messaging system, your DMs are readable (given sufficient incentive).
Please read up on whether your messaging system is *end-to-end* encrypted, not just “encrypted”, and think about whether you trust the developers to write good code and not lie to you about how things work.
Mastodon DMs are *not* end-to-end encrypted! You should not write anything on Mastodon that you don’t want published in the open (given sufficient incentive).
Some systems *can* be end-to-end encrypted but are not by default. RCS, FB Messenger, and Instagram DMs fall into this category AFAICT. Some systems don’t even offer it, like Discord.
Please consider moving your private messages to a system that is private by design! I’m partial to Signal, but feel free to choose your own.

As noted in support.apple.com/en-us/102651, iMessage is effectively end to end encrypted if you enable “advanced data protection” in iCloud settings. Otherwise while the messages themselves are, the backups of those messages aren’t.
The only reason I’m aware of not to do this is that you can’t recover your data (eg by calling support) if you lose access to it.

in reply to David Smith • • •@Catfish_Man I wish Apple was more clear about how end-to-end encryption works on iCloud for third party app data more broadly
I think there is E2EE for the data sometimes, but it’s opaque for both developers and users
Here’s what I managed to learn about it a while ago. AFAIK nothing has changed recently since I wrote this canopy-docs.justtact.com/docum…
