We aren’t talking about iMessage. Not WhatsApp, Not Signal or any other messaging service.

What’s being discussed is fallback protocol iPhone being SMS vs RCS and which protocol is a better solution.

What about that is not clear? Apple does NOT have a solution with iMessage, because the iPhone STILL sends SMS as a fallback.

Ummm.. Not sure your point.

Ummm.. Not sure your point.Everyone should and most likely does have multiple email address. The point of a back up email is for that very purpose. But how did the tech get into the back up email account before getting into the phone? 2FA goes to both the primary and back up email account.

Doesn’t seem she’s alone in that confusion either.

The activity triggered several email security alerts to McGonigal’s backup accounts. However, she speculates that whoever has the phone may have used it to access her backup email addresses and then dumped any security alerts into her spam folder.

"The photos they opened were of me in bathing suits, sports bras, form-fitting dresses, and of stitches after surgery," McGonigal writes. "They deleted Google security notifications in my backup email accounts."

So they broke into your backup accounts BEFORE they broke into your Google account?? This is where the whole thing falls apart for me. The sequence of events that this would take make no sense.

Indeed.

To be clear, I’m not challenging the idea that MS backtracks decisions as a result of customer feedback. I’m challenging the idea that they do it more than Apple or Google. I think they are all about even, +/- an issue here or there.

Most recently for Apple is the iCloud picture uploading "security" measure being backtracked on.
