> You don’t think it’s a security issue for apps to be able to intercept your text messages

Apps, like Signal, that you have given permission to intercept your text messages? Why would that be a security issue? You gave them permission to do it because that's what you wanted.

> Of course the OS vendor is going to have privileged access.

Also known as "private APIs" etc.

> Do you also want third parties to be able to reprogram the Secure Enclave?

Why would that be unreasonable, if done at the request of the device owner?



You have random apps intercepting your text messages and you wonder why that is a security issue ?

I am so glad we have companies like Apple who actually take privacy and security seriously.


Not random apps, only the ones you've given permission to do so.


Until someone else puts spyware on your phone....
