Comment on Nothing Chats has already been pulled from Google Play over privacy issues

SMS is also plain text, what’s the big deal?
E2E encryption is one of the main points of iMessage.
Giving your iCloud credentials to someone that isn’t Apple is already kind of shady. They needed the security around this product to be bullet proof. I don’t know why anyone would be quick to trust Sunbird after this.
Probably a privacy policy issue? Its okay to do stuff in plaintext, but the privacy policy must make that clear.
Literally from their FAQ
Are my messages secure? Yes, Nothing Chats is built on Sunbird’s platform and all Chats messages are end-to-end encrypted, meaning neither we nor Sunbird can access the messages you’re sending and receiving.
And regardless, if they removed this line and added privacy policy like “we do not encrypt messages and can read them whenever we like” should kill their entire platform.
No, read the article. App claimed to be end-to-end encrypted, it was anything but.

The premise of the app is not sending plain text messages.
