Meta made fun of iMessage, said - some security features of WhatsApp are not available, Zuckerberg shared the list

Meta's WhatsApp and Apple's iMessages service have always been pitted against each other. Where WhatsApp is not limited to just one operating system, iMessage can only be used on Apple devices. WhatsApp has been considered more secure than Apple's iMessage on countless occasions over the years. Now, Zuckerberg has also launched a scathing attack on iMessage for not supporting end-to-end encryption, which prevents any third party from gaining access to users' personal data. 

Shared post on facebook

Sharing a photo of the three bubbles, Zuckerberg lists some key features iMessage doesn't have, including disparate chats and end-to-end encryption that works for WhatsApp on both iPhones and Androids. 

Zuckerberg wrote that with end-to-end encryption, WhatsApp is far more private and secure than iMessage, which works on both iPhone and Android, including group chats. With WhatsApp, you can also set all new chats to be disappeared at the tap of a button. Last year we also introduced end-to-end encrypted backup. None of which iMessage still has.

Meta made fun of iMessages

Meta had put up a poster mocking the green and blue bubbles of iMessages. The poster also urged users to opt for WhatsApp for a more secure messaging experience. iMessage hasn't received any major updates in the recent past, but WhatsApp is constantly testing safety features to improve the user experience. 

Google also took a jibe at Apple

Earlier, Google had taunted Apple for short messaging services' successor RCS. The company had earlier launched a promotional campaign to pressure Apple to adopt RCS. This should make texting between Android and iOS easier. Google has also introduced a new "Get the Message" website that explains the issues that have existed since Apple refused to adopt the RCS messaging protocol.
