On one hand it’s all end to end encrypted. On the other, dick move by Apple to not make it opt-in.

Apple already admitted to spying on us through the microphone, there’s no way we can know what else they’re doing. How do we know they’re not also spying on us through the camera? Once they lose trust they don’t get it back. My next phone won’t be an iPhone.
