iMessage

Apple Messages is an app that is only available on Apple devices, but it is great in terms of security protections. In addition to providing end-to-end encryption between users, Apple Messages allows users to decide how long a message is visible and how many times the receiver may read it. This functionality is only available to iOS 10 and later users. iMessage's core capabilities, which are available on all supported devices, include sending messages, pictures, videos, and documents, as well as receiving delivery and read statuses.

Regardless of whether Apple device you're using, whether iOS, watchOS, or iPadOS, your communications are end-to-end encrypted and require a password to view. Users of Apple's FaceTime may also be certain that their video chats are E2EE-enabled. Location data and stickers may also be sent using iMessage. Third-party developers for iOS and iPadOS can enhance iMessage functionality with bespoke extensions, such as rapid sharing of recently played music.
