Isn’t this the technology that allows google/att to look at and analize all my texts? Why would anyone want this?

They can already look at your texts when using SMS/MMS, which is what the messages app uses when chatting with non-imessage users. SMS is known to be insecure.

‘The’ messages app? You know you can install any SMS app you want and don’t have to (and really shouldn’t) keep any Google app on your phone?

The person you’re replying to is talking about the Messages app on iPhone.

Oh, I see. I thought they were referring to the Google messages app as the ‘messages’ app.
