  The surrounding context of that statement is talking about the app, not the protocol. From the Apple user’s perspective, they see no difference.

    Again, protocols are core to the discussion, and from the user's perspective which protocol they are using is very obvious (which, again, is core to the discussion). This isn't some trivial detail to get wrong. If they author can't carefully distinguish themselves and educate their audience, why are they even writing about it in the first place?

      You went from being pedantic to straight up disingenuous.

      No reasonable person reading that line would think they were talking about the protocol. You picked out one thing you thought you could pick apart, and it makes no sense. When called out on it, you’re doubling down.

      Move on, man.

        I pointed out sloppy, inaccurate writing that hints that the writer maybe doesn't have a good grasp of the subject matter. There's nothing to "call out"; I was pretty clear from the start what I was criticizing.

    Isn’t the app on Apple devices called Messages? I thought iMessage was the name of their e2ee internet messaging protocol.
