Uh yeah… It isn’t. Like at all.
So exactly as secure as we thought, then.
No, it’s even less secure than expected. We expected that Sunbird would have access to your Apple ID and messages. Instead, everyone in the world has access to your Apple ID and messages.
Definitely like Nothing we were hoping for.

Yeah, but I got absolutely roasted in YouTube comments for pointing out some potential shortcomings in the architecture. I’m not about to claim a high level of authority on the topic, though I’m an old man who has been in the game for a while, but the people that were totally confident really just seemed very eager to accept the passing of their credentials in a very sketchy way to get a slightly different messaging experience.
Just use signal folks.
my guy, there are much more pleasant ways of getting cancer than visiting Youtube’s comment section

What? It’s not crazy unstable, I’ve never had an issue with it.
Someone didn’t take their crazy pills this morning.

If everyone you text with are on iPhone anyway, there’s no logical reason to switch iMessage off and use SMS.
Never personally had any issues with iMessage (not sure which parts you think “suck” and are “unstable”).
80% of my contacts use iMessage, the rest use Signal.
I mean I’m a firm FOSS guy, I love Lineage and Signal and all of it, but you’re factually just wrong my guy

Right? I feel like people here are on even more crazy pills + copium than I am lol.
Edit: Take me to ur dealer(s) 👾
Yeah no shit, it’s a badly put together hack. They should not be advertising this embarrassing mess.
That’s saying something as I don’t think anyone thought it was particularly secure

The problem is breaking up the network effect from messaging apps.
Noone is uninstalling WhatsApp since there’s always that one guy you need to keep in contact with that refuses to change.
Having aggregators like this is helping break up this
I don’t get the buzz around this. It’s a really ugly hack, it’s costing someone money to run those mac servers, and the longevity of the service is questionable.
If only there was a law forcing messaging services to open an API for free choice of 3rd party apps…
